Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 30, 2024 He that heareth the word in stony places: Now, that sounds cold, dead, wrong kind of ground. He’s standing on the wrong kind of ground. This kind of person knows to leave where he is not hearing the true word of God. He is boxed in; he cannot free himself. The Holy Spirit woos him, calls him, but he is not willing to come over to where the ground is the proper ground, where power, where faith, where action, for healing, for miracles are at, where life is at. He at times hears the true word with joy. And for a moment, he’s happy, he’s full of joy. Sooner or later, he is offended by persecution because of the word, and because he does not have that divine root, he eventually becomes unhappy and fades away. He that heareth among the thorns: This kind of person goes to church, but he is also in a cult; he’s among satanic forces, he’s among religious cults, and he’s among sinners, and among thorns. In addition, the cares of life choke out the word. He that heareth the word in good ground bringeth forth much fruit. He is established. You confess I am happy in the Lord. I am joyful in the Lord. I believe that I have eternal life. I joy in God’s word. I joy in God’s power. In my good times, in my bad times, it makes no difference. I will joy in the Lord. You know you have true salvation. John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” You know in your soul that you have eternal life; no one can tell you otherwise. So, good ground is where the word of God, where the power, is at. It is there, just like the Scriptures say, the miraculous is all around the people. When they are sick, they believe in their heart they are healed by God’s power. God guides them like the cloud to the children of Israel. He guides them in the fire of the Holy Spirit. He anoints them, and they have the power, and light, and joy, within them. He gives them health, life. Life is in the place, saith the Lord, the life of the Holy Spirit. The words that Jesus speaketh, they are Spirit, they are life, and if you are on good ground, they will grow. Let these sayings, saith the Lord, sink down in your heart and in your ears. He shall come again and receive His people to Himself. He will come again. You can count on it. You can count on it whether you die or whether you live, saith the Lord. I am coming again. But did you ever realize in your heart, after 6,000 years, and you look into the Universe, and just see how great the One that created you, you have to stand back in awe. It is just not this little world down here, it’s like a drop in the bucket, He says. Just think of the greatness, the power, of the great Messiah, and how great He is, and how masterfully. That’s why He is so great, and so powerful, that the little things, He cares about them the same way as the big things, because He’s eternal, He’s sovereign, He’s infinite. It goes beyond our thinking. So, in your mind, don’t ever limit Him. Always say, I don’t have the capacity to believe how really great He is. I don’t have the capacity to believe how great He is, hardly. Just all that He would allow me to believe, that’s in the Bible to believe. Our Lord Jesus is the mighty God, the great Creator (Isaiah 9: 6; Colossians 1: 16 – 17). Christ shall sit on His glory; He shall make them ruler of many things. Then besides that, the mysteries of the Kingdom are revealed to those that have the root of the Lord and believe in the Lord. Here are some mysteries that the Lord will reveal to us after the translation: “Also we might say in due time God will reveal to His saints what He has in other parts of the Universe that has been hidden from view. Surely many parts of it is inhabited by some type of life and so forth, and after the translation He will reveal to His elect their duty and the rest of His plans for the ages into the eternities! – Rejoice that you know and understand these things and be prepared in your heart to be ready at all times!” After the translation, the Lord will reveal to us our assigned duties, and He will reveal to us “the rest of His plans for the ages into the eternities”. 1 Corinthians 2: 9: “But as it is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM.” Let us worship and praise our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal God.
You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 30, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Surety Root”, CD # 1075, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Divine root feeds from the word, that’s the sun, and from the Spirit, water. Finally, organizational systems on the earth, most of any that I ever saw, will finally have no root in the word, it will be blown away into man’s systems, the chaff. In the Bible, we look back, and we can tell from different men of God in the Bible, the things that they went through, and they were blown left, and blown right, but the difference between those and the others, were, if they were the true seed, that no matter happened, one of them was David. He’s blown this way and that, but he had a good root. God stayed right with him. Fact, in the very end of the Bible, the Lord Jesus said, I am the root , that means Creator, and the offspring of David (Revelation 22: 16). I created David, I come through him as the Messiah. So, He said, I am the root and the offspring too, of David. He said I am the bright and morning star, the pillar of fire. So, what tree do we come from? I used to tell the people, we didn’t come from the monkey tree. We come from the root and offspring of David. Our root is from the Lord Jesus. We are in the image of God, so forth, so that takes that other evolutionary doctrine right out just like that, and we hold with the Lord. So, you have a good root in the word. And sometimes, things will happen. You get a lot of tourists in here, towards the wintertime, they don’t know anything, they don’t want to learn anything. Some of the rest of them are interested. They get healed by the power of God. And some of them, before you get finished, they are on their way, and some things they get up here, different things can happen. I said, Lord, you know we are living in an age where you can expect that, and we are living in an age where you also have authority over it, power over it, we are living in an age, and the reason I’m preaching this message, and the Lord, this is the true, if I ever preached anything in my life, and the Lord said, they have no root. They hear the word, and they listen to the word, so forth like that, but it’s not anchored in that word. You’ve got to have a good root in the word of God, and that means, water and Spirit and if you do, you’ll grow in faith, you’ll grow in power, and the power of the Lord. Blessed are they that hear and keep the word. They that hear and do the word of Christ are Christ’s brethren. Blessed are they that hear the word, act upon the word, believe the word in their heart. There’s automatic blessing to that. In the parable of the Sower, goes forth, he sows his seed, four kinds of hearers, and he goes forth, and it falls in different places. He that heareth the word in stony places: Now, that sounds cold, dead, wrong kind of ground. He’s standing on the wrong kind of ground. He won’t come over, on, out of the system, or into, wherever he’s at, to where the ground is the proper ground, where power, where faith, where action, for healing, for miracles are at, where life is at. See, in stony places, he’s boxed in. And the Holy Spirit woos, He calls him, He wants, once that word goes forth, he knows where he better go and find out where the power’s at. Now, he hears the word in stony places, see no life, it’s just like death in there, no word, no spirit. And he hears it in stony places with joy. He receives it in those stony places, but he’s not on the right kind of ground. Watch what happens to him: Having no root, it can’t get down in the ground there, but he hears it with joy. And for a moment, he’s happy, he’s full of joy. Having no root, he is offended by persecution because of the word, because of the good ground, because of power, and because of the word. And what happens to him? Because he has no root, he goes away with sadness and forgets. People today say, and many Christians today, get caught up, and they say, well, you know, I’m not happy, I don’t have any joy. You are what you confess. The Bible said, you are, exactly. If you confess negatives, you’ll wind up with a negative mind and negative heart. If you confess doubt and unbelief, pretty soon, you’ll be all tangled up and strangled. You are choked out. You’ll be on stony ground again. You confess I am happy in the Lord. I am joyful in the Lord. I believe that I have eternal life. I joy in God’s word. I joy in God’s power. It don’t make any difference about the sinners, whoever they are, walking around, it makes no difference at all. In my good times, in my bad times, it makes no difference. I will joy in the Lord. Now, sometimes, that’s very hard to do. But at the same time, you will have more of your ups with the Lord. He will stay with you more often than ever before. You’ll have your mountain tops. But it’s when you get in your lower spells, it’s when you want, really, joy in the Lord. So, I joy in the Lord. And you know, the first thing you know, that fountain from the Holy Spirit will bring a spiritual joy. The fountain of the Holy Spirit will bring a spiritual happiness, you see, because you are confessing positive things, agreed with the word, and the more positive, of confessing it. Did you know, by just confessing joy in the Lord, and confessing happiness, and merriment of the Lord, did you know that will drive out a depressed spirit? Did you know that will drive out a mind that’s being captured by the devil? Oppressing the mind, and fear, and nervousness, and anxiety, and heart problems, and troubles, the joy of the Lord will drive it out, and give you a sound heart, a sound mind, and a good body. But, see, for a moment, they were joyful, but because the root was not in good ground, they just blowed away from what they hear; they were in stony places, they didn’t get on proper ground. He’s offended right away. Now, you see me preach, and sometimes, powerful, right, directly, a Scripture, right from the Scripture, immediately you see several offended in the word, and the Lord said, they have no root. He that heareth among the thorns: Well, he’s among satanic forces, he’s among religious cults, and he’s among sinners, and among thorns. And the cares of life choke out the word. Oh, he’s following the cares of this life, get ahead of this one, get ahead of that one, buy this, do that. Which by itself is okay, to be comfortable. It’s okay if one wants to be that way. But, when one is totally in the sports, totally in any kind of legitimate thing, fishing or whatever, totally carried away without God, and it chokes him out. And it could be in the business world where their mind is so much on business 24 hours a day that they’ve got one minute for God, and then they can’t get nothing done then. So, he that heareth among the thorns, the cares of this life just choke him out. So, even the legitimate thing that a person can do, can do too much of those things, until literally, it just chokes him out. And Satan shows the church what things they can do, and the next thing you know, they’ll overdo it. Watch him because we are at the end of the age, keep your eyes open, and keep the joy of the Lord in your heart, and your root in the right place. It don’t make any difference what kind of business that you are in, but you must put God 100% first, and He’ll run your business, saith the Lord. He that heareth the word in good ground: Now, the joy remains, the word of God remains. So, he’s in the right place, not the stony place now, not on the wayside now, he’s right in the center of God’s word. He that heareth the word in good ground bringeth forth much fruit. He is established. Now, fruit means the real thing, and that’s probably, at the end of time will be lesser than any other kind, but it’s the real thing from God. So, good ground is where the word of God, where the power, is at. It is where the apostolic doctrines at. It is there, just like the Scriptures say, the miraculous is all around the people. When they are sick, they believe in their heart they are healed by God’s power. God guides them like the cloud to the children of Israel. He guides them in the fire of the Holy Spirit. He anoints them, and they have the power, and light, and joy, within them. He gives them health, life. Life is in the place, saith the Lord, the life of the Holy Spirit. So, besides hearing the word, losing the joy and all of that, you’ve got to first be on the right ground. They’ll come in the right ground of God. Any part of this earth where the word of God is preached on the right ground, they are doing something. There’s a place here, and there’s a place there, and some cities, there’s a place. He’ll always have a place where the ground’s at, and they’ll establish themselves in there. And then ask, and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. All things are possible to them. So, blessings on those who hear and do the word of God. He that heareth and doeth Christ’s sayings is a wise man: Somebody said, give me wisdom. All you have to do is, he that heareth and doeth what? Christ’s sayings, is a wise man. Acting upon the word, bringing deliverance (Matthew 7: 24 – 27). Cleansing through the word of God: It will cleanse all diseases. It will cleanse any kind of a germ. It will work through your body by His powers. The words that Jesus speaketh, they are Spirit, they are life, and if you are on good ground, they will grow. Perhaps in heaven someday, where God is preaching His word, He’ll give you a chance to see how that He has moved on your life, put your life in the right place, because, see, after God does so many things for you, Satan will come along; oh, that is his duty. And, did you know, when God was speaking in heaven, He told me, that that Lucifer got up and walked out on Him several times, and the third time, He gave him a talent he didn’t know he had, flight. He had flight, but he couldn’t move that fast before. Oh, he disagreed with the most High, the Bible says. He disagreed with the words that were coming out of Him, and he thought he was big in front of those other angels. And the Lord said, the Lord knew within Satan, was both good and bad, take his choice. So, he got one talent, and he left so fast they didn’t ever know he was there, he was really moving. Behold saith the Lord, he had no root. He made Satan without a root. The rest of the angels were rooted right into the throne. Revelations is better than any man can preach, saith the Lord. The mysteries of God and the eons of time, how great the Lord is. But did you ever realize in your heart, after 6,000 years, and you look into the Universe, and just see how great the One that created you, you have to stand back in awe. It is just not this little world down here, it’s like a drop in the bucket, He says. Just think of the greatness, the power, of the great Messiah, and how great He is, and how masterfully. That’s why He is so great, and so powerful, that the little things, He cares about them the same way as the big things, because He’s eternal, He’s sovereign, He’s infinite. It goes beyond our thinking. So, in your mind, don’t ever limit Him. Always say, I don’t have the capacity to believe how really great He is. I don’t have the capacity to believe how great He is, hardly. Just all that He would allow me to believe, that’s in the Bible to believe. He speaketh, He is the Spirit and He’s life in that word. And on good ground, it quickeneth, it energizes, and it quickens that seed, that power, they come into their proper place. Before the end of the age, the lights, and the powers of the Lord that be, you’ll feel it in your heart, and know exactly what God has for you. Just before the translation, He’s going to move on His people. He that heareth Jesus’ sayings shall not see death: Now, thou wilt say, you know, He made that statement, a lot of the disciples are done gone. He’s speaking this in a spiritual way. Although they die from martyrdom, they didn’t even feel death. Death, where is thy sting, o grave, where is thy victory, they said. Death to them, believing in the Lord, was just kind of like a transition period. Just transferring from one place, looking back at the body maybe, going on up in the spirit world. See, you are body, soul, and spirit. You know, this body, it just carries around, you can set it down like a suitcase, going on with Him, come back and pick the suitcase up, change to a glorified body. Why, it’s easy for the Lord to do all of that. It don’t make any difference what happened, your record is there. A vapor, fire burn up, burn yourself up, it don’t make no difference. He calls back the ingredients of that, which is neither vapor, fire or whatever you burn up, it makes no difference, he can bring right on back. See, He’s got another copy of you. So, shall not see death. We know if you live long enough, why, eventually, you’ll die. But what it means is, you’ll not see spiritual death. You will not pass into the second death of hell. You will not pass away from the eternal God. You will never see that kind of a death. You may pass from this body into heaven, but you will not see death. In fact, when you die, you will not taste of death. You will believe, and just float on with God. He’ll be there with you, if you believe in your heart. But you’ll not see the spiritual death that He’s talking about here. Passing on, sure, after death, into heaven. Of course, if you believe His word, you will, into paradise with Him. But you’ll never have to worry about the other. See, when you are separated from God, it’s automatic death too, when you are gone from Him. And when you are with Him, you are with life. When you are with Satan, you’re with death. You are with the Lord, you are with life, and it’s life with Him. Whatever He has, whatever He does, He does it well. He knows all about it. He has great compassion in His word, but He wants you to obey His word and get on good ground. And so, you’ll not see death. If you keep the sayings this morning, and allow the root to grow in good ground, then no matter how trials or mistakes or what happens to you in your life, something may come up that you cannot control sometimes, but I can guarantee you one thing, if you’re on good root, you’ll hold on to the Lord, and that takes being on good ground. Do all you can for the Lord, believe the Lord in your heart, He’ll see you right through that. So, if you keep His sayings, you will not see death. You’ll just pass on, and meet the Lord, and you will not even go near the second death there. And through the word, He just refines you, and takes out the diseases, and so forth, like that. Let these sayings, saith the Lord, sink down in your heart and in your ears. He shall come again and receive His people to Himself (John 14: 3). He will come again. You can count on it. You can count on it whether you die or whether you live, saith the Lord. I am coming again. Blessings, promises, to the watchful servants that gives the word of the Lord in the watches of the end of the age. So, blessed promises to the watchful servants. Those that are watching, those that have the root in the word of God, and believe in all miraculous, you put your root down in that word of God, and the flame will come up right through there, the anointing, it won’t burn up the bush, saith the Lord. Why servants to be made ruler over all things that God has: He rules the nations with a rod of iron (Revelation 12: 5). Christ shall sit on His glory; He shall make them ruler of many things. Then besides that, the mysteries of the Kingdom are revealed to those that have the root of the Lord and believe in the Lord. The keys of the Kingdom of Heaven are given: When signs are fulfilled, the Kingdom of God will come. The signs are all around us. Did you know, outside of outpouring and revival among the elect of God in His power, that the signs that are left in the Book of Revelation, and a few in the Old Testament, most of those signs, outside of a very few right now, those are tribulation signs. Those are the signs that run from the beginning of the tribulation, clear on into the day of the Lord. And the rest takes place, those prophecies for the millennium and the white throne, and on out. But the promises to the church, there are very few, there’s only a few left for the elect, among, while we’re here now. One of them is revival that God is going to heat up and move real quickly for His people there. And those, just very few, and we are going through those right now, we’re beginning to go through those. There’s no more, the rest is left for the great tribulation. So now is the time to make sure that you’ve got your root on good ground.
I started the sermon. Matthew 13: 3 – 9: “And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and chocked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 13: 18 – 23: “Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” He that heareth the word in stony places: Now, that sounds cold, dead, wrong kind of ground. He’s standing on the wrong kind of ground. This kind of person knows to leave where he is not hearing the true word of God. He is boxed in; he cannot free himself. The Holy Spirit woos him, calls him, but he is not willing to come over to where the ground is the proper ground, where power, where faith, where action, for healing, for miracles are at, where life is at. He at times hears the true word with joy. And for a moment, he’s happy, he’s full of joy. Sooner or later, he is offended by persecution because of the word, and because he does not have that divine root, he eventually becomes unhappy and fades away. He that heareth among the thorns: This kind of person goes to church, but he is also in a cult; he’s among satanic forces, he’s among religious cults, and he’s among sinners, and among thorns. In addition, the cares of life choke out the word. He that heareth the word in good ground bringeth forth much fruit. He is established. You confess I am happy in the Lord. I am joyful in the Lord. I believe that I have eternal life. I joy in God’s word. I joy in God’s power. In my good times, in my bad times, it makes no difference. I will joy in the Lord. You know you have true salvation. John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” You know in your soul that you have eternal life; no one can tell you otherwise. So, good ground is where the word of God, where the power, is at. It is there, just like the Scriptures say, the miraculous is all around the people. When they are sick, they believe in their heart they are healed by God’s power. God guides them like the cloud to the children of Israel. He guides them in the fire of the Holy Spirit. He anoints them, and they have the power, and light, and joy, within them. He gives them health, life. Life is in the place, saith the Lord, the life of the Holy Spirit. Satan has no root: And, did you know, when God was speaking in heaven, He told me, that that Lucifer got up and walked out on Him several times, and the third time, He gave him a talent he didn’t know he had, flight. He had flight, but he couldn’t move that fast before. Oh, he disagreed with the most High, the Bible says. He disagreed with the words that were coming out of Him. And the Lord said, the Lord knew within Satan, was both good and bad, take his choice. So, he got one talent, and he left so fast they didn’t ever know he was there, he was really moving. Behold saith the Lord, he had no root. He made Satan without a root. Revelations is better than any man can preach, saith the Lord. The mysteries of God and the eons of time, how great the Lord is. Never disagree with the word of the Lord. Otherwise, you will be doing what Satan did in heaven that caused him to leave. But did you ever realize in your heart, after 6,000 years, and you look into the Universe, and just see how great the One that created you, you have to stand back in awe. It is just not this little world down here, it’s like a drop in the bucket, He says. Just think of the greatness, the power, of the great Messiah, and how great He is, and how masterfully. That’s why He is so great, and so powerful, that the little things, He cares about them the same way as the big things, because He’s eternal, He’s sovereign, He’s infinite. It goes beyond our thinking. So, in your mind, don’t ever limit Him. Always say, I don’t have the capacity to believe how really great He is. I don’t have the capacity to believe how great He is, hardly. Just all that He would allow me to believe, that’s in the Bible to believe. Our Lord Jesus is the mighty God, the great Creator. 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.” 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.” Christ shall sit on His glory; He shall make them ruler of many things. Then besides that, the mysteries of the Kingdom are revealed to those that have the root of the Lord and believe in the Lord. Here are some mysteries that the Lord will reveal to us after the translation: I read from Special Writing # 136: PARADISE – GOD’S WISDOM “Also we might say in due time God will reveal to His saints what He has in other parts of the Universe that has been hidden from view. Surely many parts of it is inhabited by some type of life and so forth, and after the translation He will reveal to His elect their duty and the rest of His plans for the ages into the eternities! – Rejoice that you know and understand these things and be prepared in your heart to be ready at all times!” After the translation, the Lord will reveal to us our assigned duties, and He will reveal to us “the rest of His plans for the ages into the eternities”. 1 Corinthians 2: 9: “But as it is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM.” Let us worship and praise our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal God.

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.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 9, 2024 There’s one thing I notice that people allow condemnation to cheat them out of the blessings of the Lord. Well, lots of times, they’ll say, I should have done this, maybe I hurt somebody’s feelings, or maybe I shouldn’t have done that. Did you know that mustard seed faith will pull you out of that condemnation? Do not let anyone, anything, not even the devil, condemn you. Romans 8: 1 – 2: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” If you have true salvation, it is already preset that you are no longer under condemnation. For the “law” of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, that is, the Lord Jesus Himself, the Almighty God, has made you free from the “law” of sin and death. Matthew 18: 20: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” It means, anytime two or three people gather together in the name of the Lord Jesus, He is there with them. He does not miss church services. There is no other God besides Him (Isaiah 9: 6). He can operate the gifts of the Spirit that He has given to us, at any time, when we gather for church services, for He is the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit will help you get closer to the Lord, but they can also bring judgment (Acts 5: 1 – 11). Matthew 17: 20: “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” At first, there’s nothing. When you look at a little grain, a little mustard seed, it’s not spectacular at all. Why, it doesn’t look like anything can happen. It’s so little you can hardly even see it. Yet, it’s a little seed, but it grows. It is persistent faith. It is positive faith, nothing negative about it. It is sustaining faith. This is a particular kind that operates into the gift of faith, breaking off into the gifts of miracles, the gift of faith, and the gift of healing. The best way to describe this little mustard seed, it is tough faith. Tough, can’t knock it down, can’t beat it out of the way, can’t knock it out. Now, Jesus said, if you have this persistent, positive, sustaining, tough, powerful, faith, strong, and stay right with it, it will grow into a large type tree, and you can begin to speak even before it gets into a tree form. You can begin to speak miracles, you can have miracles just after it begins to move in there, begins to grow. His name, saith the Lord, is victory in me. What is it? Even our faith is the victory over the things of the world. Each of you has the seed of miracles in you. You become a Christian, you believe in God, in your heart with salvation, the seed begins to operate. Even John said you cannot list all that Jesus did. It said you couldn’t hold it, no matter what you did, such fantastic miracles. Some of them were so spectacular, they are probably not listed, your faith may not be able to rise to it. We do not know why all of them were not listed, probably room. But, nevertheless, He did say the works I do, that’s listed here, the works I do, shall you do. All that die in the Lord, I believe, within them, there’s the anointing of that type of faith of mustard seed. Inside of them is that little light of faith when they died, faith in God, the anointing was right there. And when He talks, the deep calls the deep, out of that faith, comes to meet Him, Amen. And we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds and we will go. “The Scriptures say, Paradise, a place of many mansions! And it is prepared by the hands of the Lord Jesus himself!” “So we see in another section of Paradise is a beautiful Holy city! – One can hardly describe the magnificent splendor within its walls of living glory. Colorful beyond our imagination! Sparkling and glowing place prepared of God’s wisdom! – You know at last the people of God will feel right at home!” We are grateful to our Lord Jesus, our eternal God and Savior, for all that He has done for us. You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 9, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Overpowering Faith”, CD # 1055 (Part One), preached by Brother Neal Frisby In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: In Matthew 17: 20, Jesus said that if you have, as a grain, He said a grain, of mustard seed, you could stand up before this mountain, not even have to pray, but say unto this mountain, and command it, and it’ll explode out of your way. The power of the Lord, and He begin to bring it, symbolize it, of course, it will move a mountain out of the way for you, and He’ll do it in the last days. The mount of Olives, and so forth, down there, Zechariah brings it all that out. But a mountain of sickness and troubles and problems, He said, I’ll move them on back for you. People try so hard for faith, they lose their faith because of failure. Faith is simple, it is very powerful. He said if you have faith just as a grain, you can have whatsoever you saith. You can speak the word only, finally. It will grow with such great power. Now, many people believe that this is fantastic, that it may well be impossible. No, there is nothing impossible with God. But it is true, as a grain. At first, it is so little. He’s describing this faith that grows. At first, there’s nothing. When you look at a little grain, a little mustard seed, it’s not spectacular at all. Why, it doesn’t look like anything can happen. It’s so little you can hardly even see it, looking through a microscope, very small seed, so it doesn't look spectacular. Yet, it’s a little seed, but it grows. It is persistent faith. It is positive faith, nothing negative about it. It is sustaining faith. This is a particular kind that operates into the gift of faith, breaking off into the gifts of miracles, the gift of faith, and the gift of healing, but it is the faith for the church too. All things are possible to the individual, also, without a gift, that sits in the audience. The centurion had that kind of faith. He didn’t have a gift, but he sure had a gift in how to bring out what faith was. You say this, and that, and they do it for me. You speak the word only, it will be done, Lord. You don’t even have to go my house, where the man is dying, just speak the word only. Persistent, positive, sustaining. It is bully-like faith against the devil. Mustard seed faith: It overcomes all opposition against whatever you are believing for. It will overcome anything that gets in your way. Any kind of criticism, any kind of opposition in any way. Persecution, no matter what it is, it will overcome it. The best way to describe this little mustard seed, it is tough faith. Tough, can’t knock it down, can’t beat it out of the way, can’t knock it out. It’s tough. That little seed has to come out of the ground. He had to fight his way out of the ground. When you put it in there, you dig it right back up, at first, there’s no change, but that’s not faith to do that, though. Never try to dig up your faith, if you could. You really don’t see no change in there at first, when you put it in the ground. But little by little now, just like your prayers reaching on out, this is teaching you to have faith, and the anointing begins to come. It's like sunshine and the rain, and like the good ground, that little seed, all of a sudden, and just a little bit, coupled with prayer, like rain, there is an atom change. The structure of it, the molecules begin to change. The energy of it begins to break forth, it’s tough, it’s going to come on up on the hard ground. It can grow in the hard ground, where nothing can grow, and it will come on up out of there. Did you know when your faith, and you move, and you begin to believe, and act on the power of God, you begin to expect, there is a breakup, like an energy around you, of God’s power. There becomes a change around you, just like that little seed. That little seed begins to change, and as it change, the structures changes of it, there’s energy around it, it fixes to do something, and as your faith reaches out, the structure of God’s power, electric-like, will begin to change around you, and it will begin to change, and you will be in the energy of the Holy Spirit. And the energy of that power begins to drive out any devil, any kind of sickness, now, she’ll begin to come out of there. See, it’s going out like that, that’s why God’s power begins to set up with it. You don’t move, He don’t move, until that structure of your faith begins to move Him there. So, it’s tough faith. It will survive, it will overcome, it will survive over the elements, the heat, the rain, the wind, and all of it. It is tough. It comes on through, though. And then it becomes almost like a tree. It’s called, like, a little plant. Yet, it grows like a tree. Now, Jesus said, if you have this persistent, positive, sustaining, tough, powerful, faith, strong, and stay right with it, it will grow into a large type tree, and you can begin to speak even before it gets into a tree form. You can begin to speak miracles, you can have miracles just after it begins to move in there, begins to grow. You can begin even before it’s full-fledged, and say unto this mountain be thou removed, and it shall be removed. No matter what opposition is in your way, no matter what mountain is in your way, that is the mustard seed faith. It will move in and do the impossible. But remember, at first, you cannot notice it. It’s so small a seed, but it is tough. It’s atomic structure like, as it grows. It just splits God’s power. It’s really powerful in there. Mustard seed faith regards God’s word against all of its senses. It regards God’s word over any senses that it has itself. The promises of God are beyond the natural senses. In other words, only the faith works, and it works with God. I believe that when the revival becomes stronger, and greater, and powerful upon the earth, two things would have taken place. The faith that God gives will come. But there will be a great confession and repenting. The sinners will confess and they will repent from a heartfelt repentance, not just some, one day, and gone the next, something like that, heartfelt. And the Christians will confess also. They will confess of their shortcomings where they have failed to operate all of God’s word and all of God’s promises. When those two things happen, you are headed for mustard seed faith, indeed spectacular. And you say, you mean, Christians need to confess, sure they do. They are not backslidden around the world, and if some have done something wrong, repent, we have an advocate, the Lord Jesus Christ. There’s one thing I notice that people allow condemnation to cheat them out of the blessings of the Lord. Because sometimes they are depressed, sometimes Satan oppresses and depresses them, until they say, well, what’s the use. And then, they condemn themselves. Well, lots of times, they’ll say, I should have done this, maybe I hurt somebody’s feelings, or maybe I shouldn’t have done that. Did you know that mustard seed faith will pull you out of that condemnation? It will pull it out. It’s condemnation that keeps a great multitude from being healed by God, push it on out. That’s what faith is all about. Your mustard seed faith will pull you out of the debris. Each individual in here has faith, but sometimes, you are oppressed, sometimes depressed, sometimes you think, you know, well, I don’t know whether that’s right or wrong, and Satan begin to work on you. Then you wonder, have you done enough for God, have you prayed enough, did you say the right things to somebody, have you read your Bible enough. Pretty soon, Satan has got that little mole hill, as big as a mountain that Jesus said will blow out of the way. Faith will move a mountain, even if it’s a mountain. It don’t have to be small, no matter how large, get it out of the way. Now, each individual has that faith, and that faith will blow back, reaching out by faith, any kind of condemnation, it will take it out. Many times, people say things to some people they shouldn’t. That’s one of the condemnations. I could go on, there must be a thousand ways that Satan can come around to you. But the Bible teaches you it’s not going to be easy. You are not going to be always on a mountain top. There’ll be the valleys that you go through in order to build that tough faith. You hold on and that mustard seed keeps pushing. It’s not out yet. It keeps pushing. It breaks that ground out of there. And after it gets out of there, then the opposition comes, birds come, everything in the world comes swooping down on him, and he fights its way out of there. The heat, the weather, the droughts, but it comes on, he fights its way through there and he’s tough and he’ll come out of there. And great exploits can take place. That little mustard seed comes out of there, he overcomes. His name, saith the Lord, is victory in me. What is it? Even our faith is the victory over the things of the world. When he comes out, his name is Victory, sounds like the Lord. In the name of the Lord Jesus; his name is Victory. He’s accomplished, he has won, saith the Lord. He has run the race. And Paul said, run the race to win. Don’t run it to lose. Run that race to win now. Get that energy, allow that structure to begin to change. Your faith will begin to change the elements of God right around you, the power of the Lord. One time, Jesus come by the fig tree. And the disciples, He was teaching faith, and He cursed a fig tree, bear no fruit from hereafter. And at first, they didn’t see anything wrong, but, when they come back by that, at the moment He spoke, it went dead at the roots. When they come by, it was withered away and dry. Faith to dry up, and faith to bring forth. All that die in the Lord, I believe, within them, there’s the anointing of that type of faith of mustard seed, that the Lord, in the age we are living in, there’ll be people alive that see the Lord coming, I believe, in our generation, with all of my heart. Others that have went on and died in the Lord, they will have this anointing that God gives me, that you feel, that does these miracles, will soak into your bodies and heart, if you’ll allow it to. The seed of faith in that anointing, and the people that died, I believe, die in the faith. Inside of them is that little light of faith when they died, faith in God, the anointing was right there. And when He talks, the deep calls the deep, out of that faith, comes to meet Him, Amen. And we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds and we will go. Elisha, not Elijah, he was translated to show us that God will take us by translation. And the others that died, He showed in Elisha that was left, died, but the other one was translated, that is a type of the Elect. Elisha died, was thrown in a sepulcher, in a grave. And there was a war with the Moabites. And the armies were after them, the enemy, and a man was killed. Somehow, an earthquake or something had opened the grave of Elisha, the prophet, who had a double portion of power that was dropped on him, the mantle of the Lord dropped on him when Elijah was translated. And Elisha was in the grave. And Elisha was already buried and only his bones were left there. His soul was done gone to God, we know that, but his bones were laying there. And they come running by there, and when they did, the man was dead, so, they just throwed him in on the bones because the enemy was right behind them. They didn’t have time to bury him. And they throwed the dead man. The Bible says, the Holy Scriptures talking, no mistake about it, no mistaking the revelation, no mistaking the language, nothing, it happened. He throwed him in there. When he fell on the bones, it said it resurrected him back to life. He returned back to life, and crawled out of there, and said, Hey, I’m alive. Now, see those bones, see that faith, that mustard seed faith in him growing like that in great power. And when God calls, those bones will meet his spirit and they’ll come together again. So, those that die in the Lord, it’s why I teach, I know exactly what the Lord told me one time. It’s why I teach that faith so strong. You’ve got to have it in you. And that translation comes, believe me, this earth, and gravity, will not hold them. They’ll be translated. So, we find out, by Elisha going in the grave shows that seed of faith in him, of anointing, that yet work a miracle while he was gone. And then we see Elijah the prophet translated by the faith too. Put the two together, and you have what’s going to happen at the end of the age when they that die in the Lord meet us in the air that don’t die, and are forever with the Lord in the translation. Christians, acting on the promises, at first, you may not understand about how faith works, but you begin to act, you begin to believe. Now remember, it’s positive, it is persistent, it is tough, it will stand, something will begin to happen. This energy of God around you will change, and the very power of God that’s been right there all of the time, you’ll begin to move Him for you. It is an energy. When that little seed’s in the ground, the atom structure begins to change, and the molecules, it begins to explode, burst, all round there. Jesus likens it that way, if you have faith as a little grain, and allow it to grow. But He said faith as a little grain, just a grain, you can move a mountain if you know which way to put it. And the church at the end of the age will have this faith built in them, so they’ll meet the Lord. We have, acting upon God’s promises, that the mustard seed faith, it goes into, and grows into, commanding faith. It’ll go into commanding faith. Miracles will happen, and that seed of faith will blow back anything that’s blocking your faith or your miracle. Each of you has the seed of miracles in you. You become a Christian, you believe in God, in your heart with salvation, the seed begins to operate. That seed of miracles, there’s no telling how many miracles that one can have in his lifetime if he learns to water and take care and bring out that little grain of mustard seed faith. Mustard seed faith does not listen to its natural senses or circumstances, but it regards only the word of God. There is mustard seed faith. And the centurion had it. And I think the time he got to Jesus, it was a large tree. Just speak it only. The power will move for my servant’s at, and you don’t even have to be there. And they brought to Him those to be healed of their diseases, and they were vexed with all types of mental spirits, all type of depression, all type of possession, all type of spirits, all type of lunatics, and crazy, not just the normal, just the kind of small, minor, mental anxiety, but He healed them. Where they didn’t know who they were or where they were coming and going. He’ll move that mountain of insanity, He’ll move that mountain of leprosy, mountain of cancer, it don’t make any difference. And He healed them of all type of diseases, and the whole multitude sought to touch Him for there went virtue, there’s the anointing I’m talking about. For there went virtue out of Him. It was glistering, the energy of God was rotating all around Him, and pulsating, and He healed them all, every one of them. That is getting faith where it belongs, and He healed them all. All type that I just read, because their faith had risen to such great heights, that all He had to do, when the centurion, them, came, speak the word only, and they said, look at that. Whatsoever he saith shall come to pass, Jesus said, and be healed. You can have whatsoever you saith. You are dealing with that mustard seed faith and how powerful it is. And they sought Him, and great multitudes came unto Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, these are other types, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them (Matthew 15: 30). Great multitudes followed Him, Matthew 19: 2, and He healed them. Now, his faith, little by little, and great power. He’s the One that taught the mustard seed. How it begins to change under the ground, and come out of there, break forth with great power. And Jesus’ faith and power and miracles become so spectacular to raising of the dead, to creating things that weren’t there, until public opinion, finally through the Pharisees and the sinners of that time, turned against Him. But He came to be crucified. He wasn’t popular at the end of His ministry. And you say why not? Because He had worked so many miracles, that’s the Lord. It got to a place that the Bible said, one time it said, even His own brethren believed not on Him. And yet, those that had faith, the multitudes, they’d seen incredible things. Even John said you cannot list all that Jesus did. It said you couldn’t hold it, no matter what you did, such fantastic miracles. But He gave enough of them in this Bible that you are, to at least, able to believe for that. Some of them were so spectacular, they are probably not listed, your faith may not be able to rise to it. We do not know why all of them were not listed, probably room. But, nevertheless, He did say the works I do, that’s listed here, the works I do, shall you do. There was works that go into raising of the dead, to healing the lunatic, people of mental diseases. Building your faith: Whatsoever ye ask in my name, I will do it. He that asketh, definitely, receiveth, believe it, that’s Matthew 7: 8. Ask anything in my name, and I will do it, John 14: 13 – 14. All things ye ask, believing, ye shall receive. If two agree, it shall be done. As we abide in Jesus together, it will be done. Nothing shall be impossible, Matthew 17: 20. As we act together, all things shall be possible, as we move in the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus gives us power over all the power of the enemy. All power is given to me in heaven and earth, and I give them unto you. These signs shall follow them that act, them that believe. Great is our Lord, His understanding is infinite. He understands, in other words, your problem before you got it, your sickness before you got it. He understands what it is. He knows all about what’s going to become of it. He knows all about what you don’t understand, so don’t sell the Lord short here tonight. Yes, He understands that sickness. He understands that trouble. He understands everything about the human body and the mind, that you will need. He is infinite. In the beginning of this sermon tonight, on confession, also that we were talking about condemnation. How that Satan can use that, sometimes, it may be severe type, sometimes, just minor, but He’ll use in all type, but your faith, being persistent, your faith, by being positive, your faith, by opening your heart and beginning to expect, you’ll have a miracle. God will give you a miracle. And Jesus said, He saw their faith. Now, He could see a substance. Also, He saw them acting. He saw their faith. And He said, fear not, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you. He says your sins are forgiven too because your act of faith, I just remind you, they are all gone. See, your faith will break you out of anything. Faith, by accepting it done, like the centurion, just speak the word only, and it shall be done. I will bless thee, I will not fail thee, I will heal thee, I will guard thee, and those who hearken shall dwell safely and shall be quiet from fear of evil. I will instruct, and I will work miracles, no matter what they are, the mustard seed faith, the persistent faith. If you have faith, Jesus said, under divine authority, if you have faith, as a grain, a grain of that, you can say unto this tree or mountain, whatever it is, be thou removed, it shall be done.
I started the sermon: There’s one thing I notice that people allow condemnation to cheat them out of the blessings of the Lord. Well, lots of times, they’ll say, I should have done this, maybe I hurt somebody’s feelings, or maybe I shouldn’t have done that. Did you know that mustard seed faith will pull you out of that condemnation? Do not let anyone, anything, not even the devil, condemn you. Romans 8: 1 – 2: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” If you have true salvation, it is already preset that you are no longer under condemnation. For the “law” of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, that is, the Lord Jesus Himself, the Almighty God, has made you free from the “law” of sin and death. Matthew 18: 20: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” It means, anytime two or three people gather together in the name of the Lord Jesus, He is there with them. He does not miss church services. There is no other God besides Him (Isaiah 9: 6). He can operate the gifts of the Spirit that He has given to us, at any time, when we gather for church services, for He is the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit will help you get closer to the Lord, but they can also bring judgment (Acts 5: 1 – 11). 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.” Acts 4: 33 – 35: “And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 5: 1 – 11: “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.” Matthew 17: 20: “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” At first, there’s nothing. When you look at a little grain, a little mustard seed, it’s not spectacular at all. Why, it doesn’t look like anything can happen. It’s so little you can hardly even see it. Yet, it’s a little seed, but it grows. It is persistent faith. It is positive faith, nothing negative about it. It is sustaining faith. This is a particular kind that operates into the gift of faith, breaking off into the gifts of miracles, the gift of faith, and the gift of healing. The best way to describe this little mustard seed, it is tough faith. Tough, can’t knock it down, can’t beat it out of the way, can’t knock it out. Now, Jesus said, if you have this persistent, positive, sustaining, tough, powerful, faith, strong, and stay right with it, it will grow into a large type tree, and you can begin to speak even before it gets into a tree form. You can begin to speak miracles, you can have miracles just after it begins to move in there, begins to grow. His name, saith the Lord, is victory in me. What is it? Even our faith is the victory over the things of the world. Each of you has the seed of miracles in you. You become a Christian, you believe in God, in your heart with salvation, the seed begins to operate. Even John said you cannot list all that Jesus did. It said you couldn’t hold it, no matter what you did, such fantastic miracles. Some of them were so spectacular, they are probably not listed, your faith may not be able to rise to it. We do not know why all of them were not listed, probably room. But, nevertheless, He did say the works I do, that’s listed here, the works I do, shall you do. All that die in the Lord, I believe, within them, there’s the anointing of that type of faith of mustard seed. Inside of them is that little light of faith when they died, faith in God, the anointing was right there. And when He talks, the deep calls the deep, out of that faith, comes to meet Him, Amen. And we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds and we will go. I read from Special Writing # 136: PARADISE – GOD’S WISDOM “Let us discuss the different sections of Paradise. For there are many mysteries and secrets concerning the place of the saints! . . . We know the apostle Paul was caught up into the third heaven; and he saw the most amazing things in this section of Paradise! And he was actually forbidden to tell all he had seen! – It was so marvelous, evidently the Lord did not want Satan or the world to know anything about this particular area! The Scriptures say, Paradise, a place of many mansions! And it is prepared by the hands of the Lord Jesus himself!” “The obedient to enter the gates of the city of Paradise!” (Rev. 22: 14) “So we see in another section of Paradise is a beautiful Holy city! – One can hardly describe the magnificent splendor within its walls of living glory. Colorful beyond our imagination! Sparkling and glowing place prepared of God’s wisdom! – You know at last the people of God will feel right at home!”
We are grateful to our Lord Jesus, our eternal God and Savior, for all that He has done for us.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 19, 2024 But prayer now will cause divine intervention. Even after the elect church is gone, the prayers that we pray for the ones that are lost, and the prayers that we pray for God to intervene in revival, and to help us, even after the translation of the church, and the last part of the tribulation going on there, the Bible said that He will intervene or no flesh will be saved. What caused divine intervention? Not only the Hebrews praying, and those that were left in great tribulation crying out to the Lord, but it’s the prayers of those with great faith. It was the prayers of those, while they were yet alive on this earth, and their prayers are kept in vials, the ones that have faith, that God keeps there. It is so important that Satan and his angels are trying to block the elect’s prayer, and they have an important program themselves, and vital to them, because, and he will not stop the prayer, he will try, because prayer is a weapon that he cannot go up against. He cannot defeat a faithful prayer. No matter how many days he delays, he cannot defeat. A true vine will spring forth. That will be the ones that have faith, the ones that they don’t just take the Bible as a bypass, no, they take it as the authoritative word of the Lord, infallible. You say infallible? Yes, every one of His promises, according to the Scripture, are infallible. Let any human try to figure a way out, and try to annul that, and I’ll show you somebody, a fool says in their heart, there is no God. Every one of His promises on salvation, on healing, for Israel, all through the Bible, all of His promises are infallible. Don’t ever let Satan tell you they are not; they are true. And when you see Him before the throne, you are going to find out they are true. God has faith in His word, that it is infallible. He is the word of God. Ephesians 2: 8: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”. When you came to salvation, at that very moment, you accepted as infallible in your heart the word of the Lord that He has forgiven you of your sins. Otherwise, you would not have come to true salvation. Galatians 2: 20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” It means you live by the faith of God every day. The faith of God to believe His word as infallible means the same thing to you as it means to Him. The “Son of God” is the Lord Jesus, “The mighty God”. 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.” Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” There is coming a fulfillment in the heart, where the hunger and the thirst, in the heart, it will come. A fulfillment from the Holy Spirit will come into the heart, that’s not been exactly like this before in this generation. And in that fulfillment, will be close to the time of the translation. It will be in the latter part, or the middle part, of the great revival that we are in now, going in into the deeper depth of this revival. And that fulfillment alone will be worth following the Lord. Until it reaches its peak, and there is a translation, and then, the other type of fulfillment, will be light, a glorified light in your body, in your bones, will change, and you will never die again. That is Thus saith the Lord. Isn’t the promise of eternal life wonderful? Let us worship the Lord: Jesus, you are more than this who created all the beauty around us and the awesome heavens, universes and stars! One day beside the Holy City we will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder of thy creation! You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 19, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Prevailing Prayer”, CD # 1051, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: We’re living in a momentous time. Do you realize that? Never a time in the history of the world, and it’s the time where He’s going to require prayer, and constant prayer, and thoughts towards God daily. That is the time that we are living in. And all signs, according to the Scripture, all signs are to be fulfilled in our generation. Not in the next generation, but in our generation, except for the millennium signs that will come in then. Of course, the translation is over with at that time. All signs according to the Scripture, and the signs that we see around us, evidence of prophecy on every side, tells us we are the generation that shall face the great God, that’s exactly right. These are perilous days; civilization is on the course of madness. Prayer can save some of it. Prayer will be able to save some of it. The rest of it will be destruction, and many will die. It will save some of it, or it could be called the planet of doom. But prayer now will cause divine intervention. Even after the elect church is gone, the prayers that we pray for the ones that are lost, and the prayers that we pray for God to intervene in revival, and to help us, even after the translation of the church, and the last part of the tribulation going on there, the Bible said that He will intervene or no flesh will be saved. And you say He intervenes so that flesh will be saved, lest men will destroy the face of the earth, the Bible said, but for the elect’s sake, the Hebrews and the tribulation saints that are left during those times, and also for the elect’s sake that prayed before they left. What caused divine intervention? Not only the Hebrews praying, and those that were left in great tribulation crying out to the Lord, but it’s the prayers of those with great faith. It was the prayers of those, while they were yet alive on this earth, and their prayers are kept in vials, the ones that have faith, that God keeps there. And because of your prayers, and the prayers of the people on the earth, there was divine intervention in an atomic war that took place in our generation. And the atomic war started right around Israel, and there’s where it ended, right about there, with the whole world shaking with all of the things in war, and weapons that were going on. But divine intervention, He was able to come at a certain time before they annihilated everything on this earth. But besides the miraculous, and healing the bodies, there are prayers that the Lord hears that are tremendous, prayer works. Not only for divine healing and miracles, but it works for divine intervention, and it works for almost any kind of a thing that you can wonder about. Prayer is what’s going to save, what is going to be saved out of this world. Without it, ye can do nothing, saith the Lord. Let me tell you what faith is. Faith prays, and then in your heart, you settle it, you accept it because you’re no longer praying, you believe it in your heart. That is a prayer of request. But there is another type of prayer. Some have it, without even ceasing, and nearly on their mind all the time. Paul was that way, many of the times that he was not preaching, and so forth. And the prayer that you pray otherwise is a prayer of the anointing and worship. Prayer for the baptism of the Spirit to grow, and enduement of power to settle upon you, and then when you act, the miraculous follows. If you are praying for divine healing, you pray, Lord, remove this sickness, and then you accept it in your heart. Some people have to pray several times before they can actually accept it in the heart. But you accept it as the finished work in the Lord. So, we find out that the power of God, by divine intervention, is on the course, and the planet of doom, but the prayer now, even after we are gone, divine intervention will take place. Abraham prayed for the seed; 400 years later it went in. All through the Bible, Enoch prayed for that generation and left. Jesus intercessed, and hundreds of years later, revivals came, and so forth, and He is intercessing for us right now. Without prayer, there would be no hope. But there is hope. In the hour of great need, is right now, the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is what’s needed, and it will come as prayer begins to prevail. We are in the hour of it. We are living in the last days. Upon all flesh I will pour out my Spirit in Acts 2: 17, Joel 2: 28 -29. When it is poured out, what will occur? As more in-depth revelations, in-depth miraculous, the in-depth of God’s Holy Spirit begins to come, because time is short. Because the end of the age is closing in upon us now. He will begin to step up the momentum. Even yet, we look around, we see Satan stepping up the momentum all over the world. God is ahead of him, and He will move with His great power. What will occur? Supernatural boldness will come. It will be a type of boldness in spirit that we’ve never witnessed among the elect, and among the body of Christ, ever in the history of the world. Now, we had the disciples, and even though they had been involved in praying for the sick with Jesus, had a certain amount, praying and miraculous took place, and Jesus was constantly working miracles in front of them to reveal His plans, there was a weakness. And at the time that He went away, and the crucifixion, and so forth like that, the resurrection, He came back. We had Apostle Peter denied the Lord during that time, didn’t know Him. Then they had that revival that Jesus brought, the first time when He came. Then after He was resurrected, and He came back, and united them together, this same Apostle, along with the rest of them, because if he done that, the rest were not too far from being the same way, they fled completely; he did get off to the side some. Then when the Holy Spirit came, this same Apostle, it said with boldness, came upon him, and great power, he never denied the Lord, no matter if they put him in jail or threatened to kill him or what, he never did deny the Lord Jesus Christ. An enduement of power, and he went in great power, and the miraculous came forth, and many miracles were wrought. Now at the end of this age, there will be a supernatural boldness. Some that have been unable to witness properly, others that have not been able to, seemingly, tell it like they want to, there will be a boldness of power. It is coming. It is coming upon the earth. What else will occur? The supernatural anointing. A real enduement that has not been seen before in our generation will come. It will be outward signs, more in the outward scope will take place. There will be amazement. On the time of the outpouring, He just breathed on them and the power of God just fell in every direction there. And then, at the time of the Pentecostal anointing, it said there was such electric power, boldness, and such a surge of electric-like faith, that it said they were in amazement, they were in wonderment. What is this? And it was almost as if the sound thereof was with them. And so amazement come upon all of them. There’ll be great astonishment, and astonishing things, saith the Lord, shall certainly take place, with amazement, will come upon them. We are getting, and heading into the real power of the Lord. The glory of the Lord will be seen. I even believe, at times, Angels will appear before the translation. If you’ve got faith, you will reach in and see that dimension. They say they discovered television back there, a few years ago. It’s been here all of the time. All they did is borrowed the airwaves, find out how to connect on to the electric in there. Television was here when God created the heavens and the earth. Back in the days of Adam and Eve, He could have put it right into a set and show it to them at that time. It was already there. Men only discovered it right now. That’s Scriptural too, men coming to the knowledge. There is even another sphere, a realm of the supernatural, a depth, in the veil, as you might look through, and that is the glories of the Lord, and the power of the Lord. It is all around you, saith the Lord, the whole earth is full of my power and glory. Read Isaiah Chapter 6, and the Angel cried out the whole earth is full of God’s glory. Signs and wonders and the miraculous will begin to come to its fullness. Because prayer will be, and faith, because prayer and praising and prayer will be, so important in our time, and now is, so important, that God will put that upon His people, and they will yield into it. That Satan will be busy agitating and working, yea, saith the Lord, on every one of your minds and heart. When you begin to pray, there’ll be a type of agitation, oppression, that you can’t keep your mind on God. And just about the time that you reaching on getting what you need from the Lord, something will occur to get your mind off of it. It is so important that Satan and his angels are trying to block the elect’s prayer, and they have an important program themselves, and vital to them, because, and he will not stop the prayer, he will try, because prayer is a weapon that he cannot go up against. He cannot defeat a faithful prayer. No matter how many days he delays, he cannot defeat. He will put on there, and you will pray for the burden of this world because destruction is coming, and He will put to save souls in a great harvest. We are in the harvest, and immediately, He putteth in the sickle when that harvest is ripe. Oh, there is no more delay, saith the Lord. It has to reach just, the Bible says, just the right ripeness. And when it gets just ripe, He putteth in the sickle for harvest is come. Immediately, it says, He putteth in the sickle, then He taketh the fruit of the earth. So, we’re prayer that the fruit remain. So, how important is it? Satan is going to make a special task force to block those prayer like he did the prophet Daniel, but it did not work, and we are a type, and we will pray, and God will move. So, it’s important that you pray. So, remember this when you start to pray, how he gets your mind off of it, tries to get your mind. Even the carnal nature, your flesh and your mind, thinking about jobs, thinking about all kinds of things that are occurring around you, and everything will get your mind off of it. But once you unite, and you get alone in your heart, when you do, and you remember there was a Scripture in the Bible, coming into a closet, being alone with God, and how that He will reward openly, there’s your outward sign coming (Matthew 6: 6). Now, it’s good to get together. It is good to get together, and unite, loud prayer, any other type of prayer that you want to pray, that is really good. And that is coupled together, as we unite in great power, and as we do, it goes up before God, and the glory of the Lord begins to move, and then the power of the Lord begins to move, and the miraculous is around us. But there is another type, and that is alone with God, waiting on Him. And when your mind can stay upon the Lord, you have to stay upon the Lord, then rebuke that devil, any agitating thing in your mind, get it out of the way, and you’ll get something done for the Lord, and outwardly, you will be rewarded. As this age is ending, and as the age is closing out, you will be rewarded in this lifetime and in the lifetime to come, saith the Lord. It’ll follow you, right straight on through, your works do follow you. Prayer will, and does prevail, and it’s the most important time of any age that we ever lived, to pray and to seek the most High. Prayer works; when it looked like all was lost, and that Israel was so far from God, they will never be revived again, and that the Lord will surely judge them at that time, Habakkuk prayed for revival, saying, revive Thy work in the midst of years. In the midst of years make known in wrath, remember mercy when it should be wrath, remember mercy in Habakkuk 3: 2. His prayer was answered. One of the greatest revivals, and one of the last that occurred in the history of the kingdom of Judah took place, in 2 Kings 23: 21 -25. It took place, that is a dual prophecy. Revive in the midst of years. We are now in the midst, coming through, in revival. It is a dual prophecy. And at the end of our age, in the midst, He will revive again. What the old cankerworm, and caterpillar of the systems, and antichrist systems, and organizations, and all of the false cults, have eat away at, that vine, and all of it, He will wipe it out. A true vine will spring forth. That will be the ones that have faith, the ones that they don’t just take the Bible as a bypass, no, they take it as the authoritative word of the Lord, infallible. You say infallible? Yes, every one of His promises, according to the Scripture, are infallible. Let any human try to figure a way out, and try to annul that, and I’ll show you somebody, a fool says in their heart, there is no God. Every one of His promises on salvation, on healing, for Israel, all through the Bible, all of His promises are infallible, but man is not infallible; his word comes in, man has a defect. He will believe one hour, and doubt the next. Sometimes, he believes for years, and then he’ll doubt again, and so forth like that. Others are pretty steady, and they are steady. Prophets and Apostles stay steady in the power to lead the people. But this I know, those promises are true. Don’t ever let Satan tell you they are not; they are true. And when you see Him before the throne, you are going to find out they are true. If you can’t base it that way, then you can’t base anything. It is either that or nothing, He said. Peter was cast into prison, orders had been given for his execution, but the church prayed on, without ceasing. They prayed for his release, and for a miracle. And lo, an Angel of the Lord visited the prison, and led the Apostle safely away. And opened up the door, and the Angel of the Lord let him out. And the disciples said all of God’s promises are true. They were going to execute him, but the Lord had other plans for him (Acts 12: 3 – 19). Solomon found himself King over the greatest empire on earth, but he realized he was only a child. In understanding this, he often heard David, or knew about David’s, praying. He prayed that God will give him the wisdom necessary to discharge the great responsibility that God had put on this young man’s shoulders. God made him the wisest man in that generation, probably never again should be one that wise, except the Messiah. Even though he made his great mistakes at the end of the kingdom, but that can be explained too. I believe he’s elect seed of God, Lord’s hands upon him because he prayed in earnest as a young boy, a young man. And he prayed in earnest. God answered his prayer. He not only answered him, He appeared to him. And after He appeared to him, He followed through with glory they could see. When Hezekiah, after he was sick and pronounced to die, God intervened by prayer, added 15 more years in a miraculous. In other time, Jerusalem was invaded by a powerful army of the Syrians, and all was lost, but death stalked them. 185,000 men, by the touch of an Angel, and the next morning, 185,000 were dead because of prayer of Hezekiah (2 Kings 19: 35). I’ll tell you of a truth, we’ve got a great God. So many demons and devils that try to pull your mind away from the supernatural, that it works in war, Paul said, it wars against you, the very elements are filled with them, he said. And they war against you, when you are to do good, and to pray, and to believe, there’s a kind of warfare on, but you have the weapons, saith the Lord, that I have given you. One of those is faith and prayer, with the word of God. So, you battle your way on one hand, but if you know how to pray, and you have boldness that is coming, with our prayer, and you have the kind of boldness, and faith, and power, you push him on out of the way easy. Elijah prayed for the widow’s son who had died, and never in history before had one recovered at that time, the first type of miracle. Elijah prayed, and the life passed on, came through again. The child lived. He said God’s promises are true. Yea, even the dead come back again (1 Kings 17: 17 – 24). Daniel the prophet, he prayed for the restoration of Jerusalem which had been lying in ashes since the days of Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion. And the faithful prophet, three times a day, prayed on. Satan tried to stop him in every way, inconceivable that he could, but the faithful prophet prayed on, he believed. There was Israel lying in ashes, 70 years into captivity. After 70 years were fulfilled by the prophecy of Jeremiah, that was before Daniel had prophesied. 70 years later, and the prophet to pray on home, was Daniel. And exact time of the year, another King arose called Cyrus, and he let them go on home. God does not fail. God made a promise to Abraham and he prayed. He made this promise to Israel, and it wasn’t fulfilled, 400 years later. The prophet’s prayers were heard in the beginning, and they crossed in exactly where He said they would. I’ll tell you, we’ve got a great God. Now, saith the Lord, in this generation, how much more, under my mercy, will I work for you. Why seat ye there, get up and believe. Do you go to church to deny me? You go to church to fulfill my promises. There is coming a fulfillment in the heart, where the hunger and the thirst, in the heart, it will come. A fulfillment from the Holy Spirit will come into the heart, that’s not been exactly like this before in this generation. And in that fulfillment, will be close to the time of the translation. It will be in the latter part, or the middle part, of the great revival that we are in now, going in into the deeper depth of this revival. And that fulfillment alone will be worth following the Lord. Until it reaches its peak, and there is a translation, and then, the other type of fulfillment, will be light, a glorified light in your body, in your bones, will change, and you will never die again. That is Thus saith the Lord. Isn’t the promise of eternal life wonderful? There are demon powers, short term, or long term, that try to block your prayers. And they can, they’ll try to block them from getting on through, but put on the full armor of God, the Bible said in Ephesians, put the full armor of God on, the breastplate of power, faith, salvation, so forth like that (Ephesians 6: 11 – 17). And from the very beginning, God begin to work and to answer prayer, all the way through. And I haven’t stopped yet, saith the Lord. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I am the Lord, I change not, men change, I don’t change. What I have spoken, I shall bring it to pass. I am not like a man, make a promise and break it, but I keep it. But men, they make a promise and they break it. So, at the end of the age, what do they get? Revelation chapter 13, and Daniel prophesied it too, they get a man that makes promises and breaks them. That’s what they took. God makes promises, He doesn’t break them. This one makes promises, and then he deceives and then, after he deceives the whole world, he double-crosses it, and leads them to Armageddon, the doom of the world, and God intervenes. He said He knows what we need before we pray.
I started the sermon: Your prayers now will cause the Lord to intervene at the end of the great tribulation so that the whole world is not destroyed: But prayer now will cause divine intervention. Even after the elect church is gone, the prayers that we pray for the ones that are lost, and the prayers that we pray for God to intervene in revival, and to help us, even after the translation of the church, and the last part of the tribulation going on there, the Bible said that He will intervene or no flesh will be saved. What caused divine intervention? Not only the Hebrews praying, and those that were left in great tribulation crying out to the Lord, but it’s the prayers of those with great faith. It was the prayers of those, while they were yet alive on this earth, and their prayers are kept in vials, the ones that have faith, that God keeps there. Mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit will come as prayer begins to prevail: When it is poured out, what will occur? As more in-depth revelations, in-depth miraculous, the in-depth of God’s Holy Spirit begins to come, because time is short. What will occur? Supernatural boldness will come. It will be a type of boldness in spirit that we’ve never witnessed among the elect, and among the body of Christ, ever in the history of the world. What else will occur? The supernatural anointing. A real enduement that has not been seen before in our generation will come. It will be outward signs, more in the outward scope will take place. The glory of the Lord will be seen. I even believe, at times, Angels will appear before the translation. But once you unite, and you get alone in your heart, when you do, and you remember there was a Scripture in the Bible, coming into a closet, being alone with God, and how that He will reward openly, there’s your outward sign coming (Matthew 6: 6). Satan cannot defeat a faithful prayer: It is so important that Satan and his angels are trying to block the elect’s prayer, and they have an important program themselves, and vital to them, because, and he will not stop the prayer, he will try, because prayer is a weapon that he cannot go up against. He cannot defeat a faithful prayer. No matter how many days he delays, he cannot defeat. As this age is ending, and as the age is closing out, you will be rewarded in this lifetime and in the lifetime to come, saith the Lord. It’ll follow you, right straight on through, your works do follow you. Taking the word of God as infallible: A true vine will spring forth. That will be the ones that have faith, the ones that they don’t just take the Bible as a bypass, no, they take it as the authoritative word of the Lord, infallible. You say infallible? Yes, every one of His promises, according to the Scripture, are infallible. Let any human try to figure a way out, and try to annul that, and I’ll show you somebody, a fool says in their heart, there is no God. Every one of His promises on salvation, on healing, for Israel, all through the Bible, all of His promises are infallible. Don’t ever let Satan tell you they are not; they are true. And when you see Him before the throne, you are going to find out they are true. God has faith in His word, that it is infallible. He is the word of God. Ephesians 2: 8: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”. When you came to salvation, at that very moment, you accepted as infallible in your heart the word of the Lord that He has forgiven you of your sins. Otherwise, you would not have come to true salvation. Galatians 2: 20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” It means you live by the faith of God every day. The faith of God to believe His word as infallible means the same thing to you as it means to Him. The “Son of God” is the Lord Jesus, “The mighty God”. 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.” Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” There is coming a fulfillment in the heart, where the hunger and the thirst in the heart, it will come. A fulfillment from the Holy Spirit will come into the heart, that’s not been exactly like this before in this generation. And in that fulfillment, will be close to the time of the translation. It will be in the latter part, or the middle part, of the great revival that we are in now, going in into the deeper depth of this revival. And that fulfillment alone will be worth following the Lord. Until it reaches its peak, and there is a translation, and then, the other type of fulfillment, will be light, a glorified light in your body, in your bones, will change, and you will never die again. That is Thus saith the Lord. Isn’t the promise of eternal life wonderful? Let us worship the Lord: Scroll # 244: BEAUTIFUL CITIES – Jesus, you are more than this who created all the beauty around us and the awesome heavens, universes and stars! One day beside the Holy City we will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder of thy creation! Besides the stars and heavens you have created magnificent things that we have not seen! “Beautiful colors of icy wonder like, of spiritual fires and lights of such beauty, and creatures likewise of such formation that we will be amazed and startled by such a creator of so many more things that can not be mentioned and are without number! Such glorious spiritual colors never seen or beheld by man’s eyes!” – Surely and definitely many marvelous mysteries await us that love Him! Literally more than trillions of creations will He unveil to His chosen! – After this was revealed to me I wondered how to unveil it and then I remembered God’s Word that could have to do with the millennium. (Luke 19: 16-19) But also may involve what was told. Nevertheless the elect are in for many surprises that eye hath not seen!

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, April 28, 2024 Three appeared to Abraham, one, God in the form of a man. When God appears in the form of a man, Theophany, it’s like Messiah. When He appears in Theophany, He is in the form of a man, and the two Angels were in the form of a man, they were hidden (Genesis chapter 18). And Jesus said, and may have been this statement in Theophany, Jesus said, Abraham saw my day, and he rejoiced at the tent door. And they said, thou not yet 50 years old, and you were back there? He said before Abraham, He said, I was around a long time; it’s what He meant. It’s exactly what the Bible said. If you make it say any other thing, saith the Lord, you are doomed. 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.” Remember, God was still reigning in heaven and overseeing the Universes, and yet, He was down here on earth, in the form of a man, talking to Abraham. We do not know how long He was with Abraham. He took the time to eat the food that Abraham had prepared, He talked with him, and He walked towards Sodom with him. He again came back to earth, as a human being, as the Lord Jesus, for thirty-three and half years. Isaiah 9: 6 tells us “The mighty God” was here on earth as a human being, as the Lord Jesus: “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.” In Sodom, in case you don’t know, there is no evils today that that didn’t cover. Jesus referred to it again, as the sins of Sodom, so shall it be at the end of the age. With God having such compassion on the sins of Sodom, and this is shown us the importance of miracles. It shows us the importance of that power, the importance of divine healing, the importance of delivering those people from oppression, depression, and possession, and whatever they have, to deliver them from the sins that they are involved with, and bringing them into Christ, the Savior. Then, what will occur at the end of the age? The same type ministry, Jesus says, the same powerful anointing. There is good news for the sinners, there is good news to the lost, there are good news to the wicked, which Paul said I am chief among all, and God saved me. There is good news for the teenagers that’s steep in so much sin today, and narcotics, and drinking, and all of this that’s happening around our country. So, what will happen at the end of the age? It will be the ministry of pure deliverance. It will be no different than what Jesus used. He will use the same method. And they can get as wicked as Sodom, and anyway that they want to get, but that knife will cut right through it. He will deliver them. They can be insane, a lunatic, He’ll set them free. Heathen, that’s never being able to hear the word of God, where men has never been able to reach him in the jungles, Paul said their conscience, and what’s on their heart, God’s foreknowledge will reveal all there is to know about that. Seeing the opportunity, which ones that never heard about Jesus, or about the Messiah, why, it’s a concluded matter from the beginning, and He knows exactly who would give his heart to God. He’s got one of the greatest master plans in wisdom of all time. When the exact number is counted for that elect, then God will translate. Trust in the Lord Jesus, set your heart upon Him, and when He comes at the time of translation, you will be glorified to meet Him. Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, April 28, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Important Facts”, CD # 1037 (Part One), preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Many churches now have given up on the sinners. They are too wicked, they claim, to save. Many of them say you can’t do anything with those teenagers. You can’t do anything with those people. They are getting so wicked you can’t do anything. They don’t have power. It takes power to get in there. The ordinary way of preaching, the ordinary way of presenting the gospel is kind of bouncing back. They are confronted with walls of evil power. And they say we just work for kind of good people, the self-righteous people, give us just the good people, the sinners are getting too wicked, and too sinful to deal with, But, oh, what does God have to say? That’s when it’s getting ripe. That’s your historical movements, leaning just with salvation, sometimes preaching part of the word, or most of the word, without that dynamic. Without the dynamic of the gospel, it will just dry up and blow away. You’ve got to have the dynamic of that. But Jesus gives us words of great wisdom, and great significance, and encouragement for our age. He is doing this for a reason, and it’s for our age too. He will warn, He will reveal, and He will give the times of seasons, and He will reveal to the ones of faith, to the ones that want to hear the word of the Lord, He will reveal to us like He did Abraham. We are the seed of Abraham by faith, whether Gentile, whether Jew or what, by faith, the seed of Abraham. Genesis 18: 17 – 18: “And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?” And He will not hide from Abraham’s seed the thing which He should do, just before Armageddon. He will not hide the great restoration revival coming to that elect. He will not hide the judgment that’s just around the corner, but He will reveal it to those of the faith. And when I say of the faith, that believe all of the word of God, and that believe in the true God, and the eternal One, and believe Jesus for just what He is, that is the true faith. Do you believest thou this? Could Sodom have been saved? Sodom could have been saved if the people had seen the power of God in operation, like they saw it in the day of Jesus. Here is Jesus, He’s showing and revealing things to come, and things of His age, and things of the past, present and future we are faced with here. And it’s a great encouragement to people, to know no matter how wicked, no matter how much demon power rises upon the earth, and the forces, that God’s hand is most potent. Matthew 11: 23: “And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.” Now, we are seeing something about this deliverance ministry which was not like that in the Old Testament. Abraham did pray the prayer of faith, but it was not everyday matter of gift going around. The ministries were different. He ruled them ahead of the religious Pharisees and the sinners that turned Him down. They were so stiff in sin and the type of religion that the Pharisees, they had enough of the word of God to hang them; Sodom had no word. There’s where it lays. Matthew 11: 24: “But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.” Sodom will come up better before me, than Capernaum and a few of the cities here that have rejected this. So we see, Capernaum saw the works of the Lord Jesus and repented not, but Jesus said that if Sodom had this opportunity, the same opportunity, it would have remained until this day. In other words, if the miracles had been performed there, that were performed in front of Israel, Sodom would have returned and turned to God, and stood to this day, and judgment would have passed over. Three appeared to Abraham, one, God in the form of a man. When God appears in the form of a man, Theophany, it’s like Messiah. When He appears in Theophany, He is in the form of a man, and the two Angels were in the form of a man, they were hidden. But yet Abraham was able, by spiritual discernment, to know something was up. He could sense something in there, even though it was hidden. And he knew something was there, and God revealed Himself in the form of a man. Now, he had heard His voice coming out of heaven and he knew something was the same, but He was covered. Now the two Angels went to Sodom, but they looked like humans and they did not recognize them. Neither did they perform any type miracles, but blindness, not healing the sick or anything, the type ministry the Messiah would have. And Jesus said, and may have been this statement in Theophany, Jesus said, Abraham saw my day, and he rejoiced at the tent door. And they said, thou not yet 50 years old, and you were back there? He said before Abraham, He said, I was around a long time; it’s what He meant. It’s exactly what the Bible said. If you make it say any other thing, saith the Lord, you are doomed. There is no device, there is no ministry known to man, or Angel, or anything, that can affect the people like the deliverance ministry that Jesus had, that said the works that I do shall ye do; that will be the final kind. Nothing, devised to man, will work like that deliverance ministry, nothing else. Now, you may have the TV, you may have radio, publications, and different things, fine anointing, do great things in there, and the anointing, but the gifts of faith, the gifts of healing and the gifts of miracles, and the gifts to cast out devils, and the discernment, to let the Holy Spirit move in the gifts of the Spirit, nothing has been devised. And Jesus Himself made the statement. The kind of ministry that you see here today would have turned the entire bunch out, He would allow it to go forth in there, with the preaching of the word. And they would have repented; He said so Himself. And yet, they would come up ahead, Sodom would come up. In Sodom, in case you don’t know, there is no evils today that that didn’t cover. Jesus referred to it again, as the sins of Sodom, so shall it be at the end of the age. In the sins of Sodom, it would be bestiality, animal worship, incest, it would be children being taught in school about sex before 6 years old and putting into action as an experience. They had no, in their heart, they didn’t have any way of allowing nature to take it’s fulfillment. And then Jesus had regard, that if the ministry would have went forth in there, they would have stood till this day, Jesus said. Then, what will occur at the end of the age? The same type ministry, Jesus says, the same powerful anointing. There is good news for the sinners, there is good news to the lost, there are good news to the wicked, which Paul said I am chief among all, and God saved me. There is good news for the teenagers that’s steep in so much sin today, and narcotics, and drinking, and all of this that’s happening around our country. The power gifts, the power in the anointing, the power to set free, God is going to turn the hand of many wicked, and turn the hand of many sinners today. He not going to just speak to the self-righteous, and the good people that don’t want to hear Him, He’s going to reach into the heart of it, and He’s going to put the power of the sword in there. Sodom could have been saved too if there were just ten righteous in the city. Genesis 18: 32: “And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.” Abraham’s hope was in the possibility that ten, the number that he felt was there. He felt, he calculated down, Abraham loved numbers. He started with 50, and God is the One that created him. Got down to about 40, 30, 20, kept going on with the Lord, coming on down, finally told the Lord, don’t be angry now, I’ve got one more. Isn’t that intercessor lovely? Abraham was our first great intercessor in the Bible. God loves the intercessor. He’ll listen to him. The intercessor has a tough job. He intercesses for the lost, he intercesses to save the people of God, he intercesses for the ministries of God. Abraham was a great intercessor, and that’s why the seed of Abraham went on into the promised land at the appointed time. Why, that pillar of fire appeared to Abraham, went across the camp, and sealed it, and waived at him on through there, and saluted Abraham, a great intercessor (Genesis 15: 17). So, He’ll listen to the intercessors. I don’t know any part of the Bible, in very many places, in that form. I don’t believe anybody in that form, except in the New Testament when Messiah come. Abraham had all that time standing with God. Abraham said, I know there’s 10 there. I’ve got Lot, and I know some of them young daughters, some of them in there are okay, said, I believe they ought to be. He said, Lord, if there be 10 in there, he said, will you save them? And the Lord said, Sure, if there be 10 in there, I’ll save them. Before the Lord appeared Abraham, He allowed the conditions in Sodom to get below 5, and then He appeared. The God of Joseph appeared, and yet Joseph hadn’t come yet. So we find out, in Abraham who loved to count, bypass Jacob a little bit, here pops up Joseph, like Abraham, the great, great grandson of Abraham. See, there was Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. And Joseph just loved to count, got him in trouble with his brethren. So, the God of Joseph was standing there in numerical values with Abraham. And He knew that Joseph would save a group. He said your great grandson is going to really take a lot of your people and everybody, and save them. So, when He dropped to 5, He appeared to Abraham, knowing Abraham couldn’t get Him. And Abraham got down to 10, wasn’t good enough. So, he’s ashamed to ask Him anymore. Isn’t that a bad shape, he says, who am I to argue with God. He had prayed so much for Lot, his nephew. To get rich, Lot went down there, to get rich. And while he was getting rich, down in Sodom, he is losing his children. See, it was only 4, and it dropped to 3. And when it dropped under 5, He appeared to Abraham. Abraham, he reasoned, why did he stop at 10, why did he stop at that number? He has a heart for the little ones of Lot. His hope laid in Lot’s family. The following was Abraham’s method of calculation for reaching the number of 10 righteous souls in Sodom, but the Lord didn’t appear to him till it was below 5, and He appeared. He knows Abraham knew how to count good, will calculate. In fact, Genesis 12 through 15 tells the whole story; Genesis 19: 15. Lot and his wife, that’s 2; unmarried daughters were 2; his 2 married daughters, makes 6; at least 2 according to Genesis 19: 14, his two sons-in-law is 2 more; and his 2 sons, they think grandsons, in Genesis 19: 12. When you add that up, you come up with the number 10. Abraham was going for it, right there, in that seed. But the Lord told him, there wasn’t. But the happy thing about it, was, at least, Lot got out. God’s hand was showing us that at the end of the age, a few will get out through the great tribulation. And Abraham got up, knowing that God’s word never fails, in the morning, and Abraham arose and he looked towards the plains, he knew God’s going to rumble down there and he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain and he beheld. It was like a volcano went up underneath them, and erupted with, I don’t know, how many feet in the air, of salt and fire, mingled with blood, and everything, just sky high, as the smoke of a furnace, and that’s hot in a furnace. And that was the end of Sodom. Only 3 made it out. Before God appeared to him, He knew exactly how many was there. When the exact number is counted for that elect, then God will translate. And the exact number to go through great tribulation is already being allotted by the Lord, who will flee into the wilderness at that time. You are with the great Calculator when you run into Him. And we find out later, the great grandson, Joseph, was like Abraham. He was always interested in saving souls, even those not of his own kind; he was in Egypt. Sound like Abraham; Joseph, his brothers, they didn’t know nothing, they just run right into anything that got burned up by God, it was just the mercies of God they weren’t destroyed. How great God’s mercy is upon the sinner. When Jesus Himself would turn down the religious Pharisees that had the Old Testament, tied up to part of the word of God, and tell them they are worse than Sodom, and say they’ll stand before me in a better condition, for they had not the word of God like you. You entertain Angels unawares many times. Heathen, that’s never being able to hear the word of God, where men has never been able to reach him in the jungles, Paul said their conscience, and what’s on their heart, God’s foreknowledge will reveal all there is to know about that. Seeing the opportunity, which ones that never heard about Jesus, or about the Messiah. Why, it’s a concluded matter from the beginning, and He knows exactly who would give his heart to God. He’s got one of the greatest master plans in wisdom of all time. If you knew everything there’s to know about how the Lord is really going to move, you wouldn’t get your job done right. So therefore, He hides part of it. Because if you knew all about how God does things, the condition of fervent evangelism will probably slack off. But He uses men as witnesses and that is the important part. But the Holy Spirit by providence begins to choose. He foreknows, is left open to all men. He said I have no pleasure in the suffering of the unrighteous or the perishing of the unrighteous, at all. But He says to all men, it is open. Howbeit, He knows the ones who will and will not. Peradventure, He knows it all. But we are to work like we can save everyone of them, and knowing we can’t. With God having such compassion on the sins of Sodom, and this is shown us the importance of miracles. It shows us the importance of that power, the importance of divine healing, the importance of delivering those people from oppression, depression, and possession, and whatever they have, to deliver them from the sins that they are involved with, and bringing them into Christ, the Savior. So, what will happen at the end of the age? It will be the ministry of pure deliverance. It will be no different than what Jesus used. He will use the same method. And they can get as wicked as Sodom, and anyway that they want to get, but that knife will cut right through it. He will deliver them. They can be insane, a lunatic, He’ll set them free. You go down to Sodom, and get some of them that was crazy, tied up in chains down there, and you let Jesus in there, begin to snap them chains off of them, and they begin to shout the victory, you’ll see how quick Sodom turns. They had enough of their sin anyway, they got so deep in it, they’d looking for hope. You watch the dead come forth, watch him come back, see legion being delivered there, in Sodom, seeing the mental cases, begin to feed them, and create, and Sodom would have been right down there at that sea, listening. Same thing happened to the woman at the well, that had all those men, sitting at the well. At the appointed time, He appeared. We find out that the whole city of sinners ran out to meet Jesus. And yet, the Pharisees that said they were the seed of Abraham, Moses, and all of that, were the very ones that sold Jesus out to the courts. Take courage, no matter how much the wicked surround us, and they give up on them, we are not to give up, but we are to seek out ways to deliver them and, believe me, that light will go forth in that sword. And He will cut out with that sword, He will cut out that elect, and He will deliver them, from the lunatic, right on down to just mental obsession, oppression, or whatever it is. So, the deliverance ministry, Jesus Himself put a stamp on it, that when nothing else can do it, the deliverance ministry will gather the bride and it will bring them on into Him, and it will deliver the people. The Bible, outside of that, there is no other way that will have the thorough, total way, of bringing what He wants to Him. Behold, she makes herself ready with the anointing. He said, Will I hide the thing from Abraham that I am about to do? No, seeing that he will do properly, he will understand. Be encouraged, no matter what it looks like around you, no matter how it seems the world is going, remember, we can by deliverance and the miracles of God, pull them out. God is going to save people, and turn them, that’s why He returned back and revealed what would have happened to that day, and then turned around and said at the end of the age, it will be like the days of Noah in the flood, it would be like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah before fire and brimstone is rained down upon them. So, the day will be the same. So, He said, send this ministry to them, and they of my seed, or those that believe, will turn; the believer will turn.
I started the sermon: Genesis 18: 1 – 2: “And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground”. Genesis 18: 8: “And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.” Genesis 18: 16: “And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.” Genesis 18: 17 – 18: “And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?” Genesis 18: 22: “And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.” Genesis 18: 25: “That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Genesis 18: 32: “And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.” Genesis 18: 33: “And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: And Abraham returned unto his place.” And He will not hide from Abraham’s seed the thing which He should do, just before Armageddon. He will not hide the great restoration revival coming to that elect. He will not hide the judgment that’s just around the corner, but He will reveal it to those of the faith. And when I say of the faith, that believe all of the word of God, and that believe in the true God, and the eternal One, and believe Jesus for just what He is, that is the true faith. Do you believest thou this? Three appeared to Abraham, one, God in the form of a man. When God appears in the form of a man, Theophany, it’s like Messiah. When He appears in Theophany, He is in the form of a man, and the two Angels were in the form of a man, they were hidden. And Jesus said, and may have been this statement in Theophany, Jesus said, Abraham saw my day, and he rejoiced at the tent door. And they said, thou not yet 50 years old, and you were back there? He said before Abraham, He said, I was around a long time; it’s what He meant. It’s exactly what the Bible said. If you make it say any other thing, saith the Lord, you are doomed. 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.” Remember, God was still reigning in heaven and overseeing the Universes, and yet, He was down here on earth, in the form of a man, talking to Abraham. We do not know how long He was with Abraham. He took the time to eat the food that Abraham had prepared, He talked with him, and He walked towards Sodom with him. He again came back to earth, as a human being, as the Lord Jesus, for thirty-three and half years. Isaiah 9: 6 tells us “The mighty God” was here on earth as a human being, as the Lord Jesus: “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.” In Sodom, in case you don’t know, there is no evils today that that didn’t cover. Jesus referred to it again, as the sins of Sodom, so shall it be at the end of the age. Matthew 24: 12: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” The power gifts, the power in the anointing, the power to set free, God is going to turn the hand of many wicked, and turn the hand of many sinners today. With God having such compassion on the sins of Sodom, and this is shown us the importance of miracles. It shows us the importance of that power, the importance of divine healing, the importance of delivering those people from oppression, depression, and possession, and whatever they have, to deliver them from the sins that they are involved with, and bringing them into Christ, the Savior. 1 Corinthians 12: 4: “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12: 8 – 10: “For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues”.
I read from Scroll # 55: ENDOWMENT OF POWER, the nine spiritual gifts of deity (Is that part of God in us which works wonders the dual nature of the spirit, salvation and then a greater measure of same spirit will work wonders! (Signs) THE GIFTS OF HEALING, there are multiple gifts of healing, notice “S” on gifts because it will take different “gifts” of healing to heal many kinds of diseases! The gifts of healing work slower, but in cooperation with the gift of miracles healings happen quickly! Each person upon receiving the Holy Ghost receives one or more gifts, but sometimes a person needs to stir up the gifts by seeking a heavier anointing! (There are different “spirit degrees”. First salvation, then Holy Ghost, then seeking more anointing!) THE MIGHTY (WORKING) GIFT OF MIRACLES – This is a spectacular gift and in almost every case works quickly leaving a (wonder) behind! Spontaneous, dramatic, powers and even staggering explosion of wonders! Notice the word “working” of miracles like (creating) changing deformed cases into normal beings! Also like cripples suddenly walking (working, activating gift) – Like when Jesus raised Lazarus the working of miracles overlapped into the gift of faith and he came forth! Also these 2 gifts worked together when Jesus turned the water into wine – THE GIFT OF FAITH – can operate all nine gifts! Reaching the realm of the 7th. magnitude of the spirit, going beyond mortal reasoning! Stopping the sun and moon, as was in the case of Joshua!
I continued with the Sermon: God is going to save people, and turn them, that’s why He returned back and revealed what would have happened to that day, and then turned around and said at the end of the age, it will be like the days of Noah in the flood, it would be like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah before fire and brimstone is rained down upon them. Then, what will occur at the end of the age? The same type ministry, Jesus says, the same powerful anointing. There is good news for the sinners, there is good news to the lost, there are good news to the wicked, which Paul said I am chief among all, and God saved me. There is good news for the teenagers that’s steep in so much sin today, and narcotics, and drinking, and all of this that’s happening around our country. You go down to Sodom, and get some of them that was crazy, tied up in chains down there, and you let Jesus in there, begin to snap them chains off of them, and they begin to shout the victory, you’ll see how quick Sodom turns. So, what will happen at the end of the age? It will be the ministry of pure deliverance. It will be no different than what Jesus used. He will use the same method. And they can get as wicked as Sodom, and anyway that they want to get, but that knife will cut right through it. He will deliver them. They can be insane, a lunatic, He’ll set them free. Matthew 11: 5: “The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” Acts 2: 47: “Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” Heathen, that’s never being able to hear the word of God, where men has never been able to reach him in the jungles, Paul said their conscience, and what’s on their heart, God’s foreknowledge will reveal all there is to know about that. Seeing the opportunity, which ones that never heard about Jesus, or about the Messiah, why, it’s a concluded matter from the beginning, and He knows exactly who would give his heart to God. He’s got one of the greatest master plans in wisdom of all time. When the exact number is counted for that elect, then God will translate. Trust in the Lord Jesus, set your heart upon Him, and when He comes at the time of translation, you will be glorified to meet Him. Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”

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.  Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
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!

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, March 24, 2024 The disciples asked the Lord to teach them how to pray, and He said Hallowed be Thy name (Matthew 6: 9). Without respecting the very name of the Lord Jesus, you can receive nothing. Respect that name, and that’s the number one. 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.” Matthew 1: 21 gave us His name: “thou shalt call his name JESUS”. When you are praying, you are talking to the Lord Jesus, for He is “The mighty God”, He is “The everlasting Father”; realize that His name is hallowed; His name is holy. Jesus told the Jews that He has been in existence before Abraham. 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.” Praying is worshipping God, praying is building up the spiritual man. It’s building up the inner man to withstand the foe or anything, darts of the devil. It builds up a shield, saith the Lord; a presence, an energy, a light like a candle that lights up, let your light shines. So, when you pray, you are asking a request. By that, you stop, and you accept in your heart what you have asked for, you believe that you have it. You believe that you receive it because God said so. You hold onto that. Then, if you want to continue praying and worshipping the Lord, and praising the Lord, the anointing will grow more stronger to even back up what you’ve just said. When you are praying, remember that the Lord dwells in eternity, where He already knows all that is in the future. Isaiah 57: 15: “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy”. Psalm 90: 4: “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.” The reason why any promise that the Lord makes will come to pass is because, as far as He is concerned, it has already come to pass; it is as yesterday when it is past. He is looking right now at that promise being fulfilled, even though it is still in the future to us. Philippians 4: 19: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” In Matthew 6: 25 – 33, the Lord Jesus states, “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”. He also states, “for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things”. It means, as far as the Lord is concerned, He has already supplied every need you will have. He has foreseen the future and knows what you will need and when, and has already gone ahead and provided it to you, for it is as yesterday when it is past. Isaiah 65: 24: “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer”. 1 John 5: 14 – 15: “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” Therefore, when you pray, you are not saying anything new to the Lord. He already knew your request, and if it is according to His will, you have the answer to your prayer, even before you prayed. That is faith, accepting as done in your heart what you are asking the Lord to do, because as far as He is concerned, it is already in the past. Psalm 100: 4: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” God hears this kind of prayer, this kind of prayer reaches God, the one that opens with worship and ends with worship, added to praise and thanksgiving, that reaches God. That is the kind of prayer. Prayer that opens worshipping the Lord, and prayer that ends worshipping the Lord, added to faith and thanksgiving, that reaches God. You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, March 24, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Effective Prayer”, CD # 1031B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Sometimes, people, they don’t pray because they think somebody else is praying; then nobody is praying. But, the Lord will always have people praying, regardless. More than anything in the history of the world, prayer is needed because of the closeness of time and the Bible predicted, and the Bible said, it was the hour of travailing, the very hour of prayer, like no other time in history because we are closing out, judgment wrath upon the earth and the great battles of men, war and so forth and it’s time to pray as never before. The disciples said, Lord, teach us to pray. They would look at the wonderful works that He was doing, creating, miracles and things that He performed in front of their very eyes. They knew no man could do these kinds of miracles and they said, Lord, teach us to pray. What was the secret of such great power that they saw? For a while, it was a mystery to them, they couldn’t understand how that was performed. Yet, God came down in the form of man and performed it as an example. And all things are possible to those that believe, He told them. Allow your faith to work and you can have whatsoever you saith. And He began to teach them how to pray and teach them about this and it wasn’t long till they begin to understand and they also learned the very secrets in power to prayer, in the proper way to approach God. God’s power is released through human faith into supernatural answers. You say how does God’s power work? It works through human, that way, He can work any other way He wants to, human faith that goes into supernatural, that brings supernatural answers back there. The first thing He said, Lord teach us to pray, He said, Hallowed be Thy name. Without respecting the very name of the Lord Jesus, you can receive nothing. Respect that name, and that’s the number one. Hallowed be Thy name, worship it and worship that, and you’ll bring a miracles. How important is prayer? Without it, you will not be able to escape the tribulation or to stand before the Son of man (Luke 21: 36). Because through prayer, faith begins to work. But to believe, one must accept by faith. Praying and thanksgiving is working into the evidence or working into the reality of what you want. The evidence of things not seen, that’s what faith is, a substance there. You can pray all you want to, for the anointing. When you pray, you can pray in a worship of prayer, and in that anointing of prayer, you pray and the anointing begins to come upon you, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Here, you are filling your cup up; here, you are being anointed, and you pray and the Holy Spirit, and the anointing grows stronger. The other way that you can pray is when you are asking the Lord for something and you want an answer from the Lord. That is faith, then you believe. You’ve already done your praying most of the time. And Jesus said, He didn’t say pray to this mountain. He already prayed. He didn’t say that, because very early every morning, He get up and prayed; but He found time to pray. He didn’t say pray to this mountain. He said, say to this mountain, command this mountain, and it shall be moved (Matthew 17: 20). So, when you are asking God to do something for you, that’s the prayer of faith; not just a prayer, but a prayer of faith shall raise him up and the Lord shall deliver him and if there is any sins, it shall be forgiven him (James 5: 15). So, when you pray, you are asking a request. By that, you stop, and you accept in your heart what you have asked for, you believe that you have it. You believe that you receive it because God said so. You hold onto that. Then, if you want to continue praying and worshipping the Lord, and praising the Lord, the anointing will grow more stronger to even back up what you’ve just said. You’ve already said it, now you are praying and reaching on out. Prayer, just for a request at the time. Praying is worshipping God, praying is building up the spiritual man. It’s building up the inner man to withstand the foe or anything, darts of the devil. It builds up a shield, saith the Lord; a presence, an energy, a light like a candle that lights up, let your light shines. You have to be active and you have to believe in your heart as you pray, and as you begin to praise the Lord. So we find out, two ways to pray: one is asking and accepting by faith in God, and the other praying is that you are praying as the anointing moves upon you. And the anointing and the shield of power, you are praying in the Spirit, going into the Spirit of the Lord, building up yourself inside for more faith and more power. Praying and thanksgiving then works into the evidence, the praying is over with. The early church prayed constant prayers. Paul prayed daily for the church, for his friends, for his enemies. He prayed constantly without ceasing. He prayed for us on the day that we live in. And he prayed often without ceasing, in the mind and in the soul. Sometimes, it wasn’t outward praying, it wasn’t loud praying. It was in the soul, it was in his mind, it was in his thoughts when he went to sleep, it was in his thoughts when he woke up. When he was resting, it was in his thoughts. The power of prayer. Elijah was like that. He had so much power one time, even after he felt the defeat come upon him, he laid down and he had so much unconscious power and faith that he already worked for, that when he woke up, an angel was cooking a meal for him (1 Kings 19: 5 – 8). See, it gets into the soul, it stays there too, it’s a substance. Then you have fasting prayer, is the ultimate in power (Matthew 17: 18 – 21). That’s when the devil walks on lightning and flees. When you drop into that dimension, you’re going where Satan don’t want to tread. You can get a lot of things done from God just by praying much, praising the Lord; being around a strong anointing is a short cut for many people because it’s already been done. The disciples were around Jesus. So much was happening through the ministry. They sought the Lord for themselves too later. But nevertheless, the ultimate in power is when you change and there’s a fasting. How much? You have to see how the Lord moves upon you, and so forth. But that connected, then it says in the Bible, because one time they could not do some miracles and Jesus Himself said, this kind, when you are going in there, where there’s demon powers and where Satan’s at, this kind can come forth, He told His disciples, and they had worked many miracles, by fasting only, is what He told them (Mark 9: 29). And as we know, Jesus went in the wilderness and He was in the wilderness about 40 days and nights in there, and when He come out, the lunatic and the demons and the devil, they knew exactly who He was. That is the ultimate now, when you reach on into there. Very few people will reach on up in there. Most of the prophets, now you go back to the Old Testament and you’ll see every major prophet, even though they were a prophet, He called them in deep sessions of that. From Elijah to Moses to Ezekiel to Daniel the prophet, they had deep sessions, although they were born prophets. Jeremiah was born to do that, yet God had that in them to prove, when He come, He was no different than one of the prophets Himself. He was the God of the prophets, and a prophet Himself, the God one. He was the One to come, the Alpha and Omega prophet. John on the isle of Patmos, now when you get into the ultimate prayer, you’re reaching on out. Ministries that are involved in the supernatural generally have to deal into that. But when you do, you reach on out, and that’s where the glory can appear, that’s where God’s presence will usher in with that kind of praying that Jesus did and the disciples and the prophets and glory will come many times. We’ve seen in the Bible upon the mountain, in the Temple and everywhere like that. It’s also done by providence, but it is done, but you are reaching into a real dimension of power. Some people, it just seems they cannot mix it up with that. And I don’t force anybody to do anything they don’t want to do, but I’m just telling you what the Bible says, because some characters are not like other characters. But, you can’t do that, stick to a fervent prayer, a steady prayer, a consecutive prayer, a systematic prayer, where it’s done in the morning, in the evening and you’ll build up like a pyramid and then you’ll have reserve, you’ll have a substance, you’ll have power and you speak, something will take place. What do we pray for? Ask for the Holy Spirit, right off. God, it says, will not give you any different, but He will bless you (Luke 11: 13). Pray for them which despitefully use you or any other ways (Matthew 5: 44). Pray, let’s you backslide or enter into something you can’t get yourself out of, a trap or snare or something like that. Pray that laborers be sent into the harvest (Matthew 9: 37 – 38). He said pray to the Lord of the harvest, which is the Lord Jesus, that workers will be sent. There’s plenty out there doing this, doing that, but there’s not enough of the real ones like the disciples, and there’s not enough of those that can deliver the people and that can take away the oppression, possession or whatever is wrong with them, create what they need, power to deliver, to give the miracle, to heal those cancers, those tumors out there and the arthritis and the pain and command them to leave in the name of the Lord. That’s the one we want to send into the labors of the harvest, an evidence. Let us send an evidence to them, a witness, and these signs shall follow, this is the witness, to those that believe. The sick shall be healed and so forth like that. So pray that laborers be sent into the harvest, that will do some good, even bringing strong, with the salvation, all that’s good enough, but that will reach on out into deliverance, where the people’s needs are met, as they believe with you. At the end of the age, there need to be more workers in the harvest, not workers that are not doing the right things, but the real reality. The real workers is what you pray for, for God to send them among the people. Pray that you be counted worthy to stand before the Son of man and escape all these things that I spoke about that come upon the world at the great tribulation (Luke 21: 36). Pray that you escape them, He said, and stand before the Son of man. So, what’s the last end of the age church? It is a praying church, it is a believing church, it is a worshipping church, it is a church of faith and power that they can stand before the Son of man. They’ll be around the anointing and power. The presence of the Lord is valuable, it is wonderful. Without prayer, you are not going to escape anything and stand before the Son of man. So, when you pray, and forgiveness is also associated to prayer. If you have anything, just say Lord, forgive me. You might have something against a person; that’s the way you move mountain, it said. And forgiveness is associated to prayer. If you think something is out of whack, or something is out of tune, or you said something or you didn’t do just right, just forgive me, then go on with your prayer with the Lord. He will bless your heart. Effective prayer went into the ultimate. And there is deeper, things and walks and places that God will give those that are chosen, those that will seek special ministries. Not everyone is called to a certain type of prophet ministries or apostle ministries or like the Old Testament or New Testament, those are chosen by God. But the people themselves can have great and wonderful ministries and laymanship, they can do spectacular wonders. Before the end of this age, this anointing gets loose, and the power of God gets loose, there’s no telling what will happen on our streets or anywhere else we go, how God is going to move before the age closes out. Who prayed, nobody, because they thought somebody else was. Each of us is personally responsible for God’s work. You can’t leave it to somebody else. If you feel it’s your time to pray or you feel it’s your time to do something or to witness or to testify, then do it, because somebody else can’t do it for you. Let’s work till Jesus comes. The Lord is a refuge for those that pray and seek Him. You must pray, you must believe in your heart. Your part, what you feel in your heart that God wants you to do, and whatever you do for Him, don’t ever leave it to somebody else, do it. Don’t leave the praying to somebody else, the fasting or whatever it is, or whatever God will call you to do, but be faithful. One of the qualities to those that escape, one of the qualities to those that are translated and accounted as an overcomer, is the ones that have the faithful quality to them. It is not hard, it can be a habit to be faithful. God hears this kind of prayer, this kind of prayer reaches God, the one that opens with worship and ends with worship, added to praise and thanksgiving, that reaches God. That is the kind of prayer. Prayer that opens worshipping the Lord, and prayer that ends worshipping the Lord, added to faith and thanksgiving, that reaches God.
I started the sermon: The disciples asked the Lord to teach them how to pray, and He said Hallowed be Thy name (Matthew 6: 9). Without respecting the very name of the Lord Jesus, you can receive nothing. Respect that name, and that’s the number one. 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.” Matthew 1: 21 gave us His name: “thou shalt call his name JESUS”. When you are praying, you are talking to the Lord Jesus, for He is “The mighty God”, He is “The everlasting Father”; realize that His name is hallowed; His name is holy. Jesus told the Jews that He has been in existence before Abraham. 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.” When you pray, you can pray in a worship of prayer, and in that anointing of prayer, you pray and the anointing begins to come upon you, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Here, you are filling your cup up; here, you are being anointed, and you pray and the Holy Spirit, and the anointing grows stronger. Praying is worshipping God, praying is building up the spiritual man. It’s building up the inner man to withstand the foe or anything, darts of the devil. It builds up a shield, saith the Lord; a presence, an energy, a light like a candle that lights up, let your light shines. And the anointing and the shield of power, you are praying in the Spirit, going into the Spirit of the Lord, building up yourself inside for more faith and more power. Romans 8: 26: “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Jude 1: 20: “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost”. 1 Corinthians 14: 15: “What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.” The Lord can also lead you to pray in tongues. Our prayer should be for the Lord to send those laborers into the harvest (Matthew 9: 37 – 38) who truly understand the gospel, who truly know that the Lord Jesus is “The mighty God” (Isaiah 9: 6), who the Lord can use to deliver the people and that can take away the oppression, possession or whatever is wrong with them, create what they need, power to deliver, to give the miracle, to heal those cancers, those tumors out there and the arthritis and the pain and command them to leave in the name of the Lord. Paul prayed daily for the church, for his friends, for his enemies. He prayed constantly without ceasing. He prayed for us on the day that we live in. And he prayed often without ceasing, in the mind and in the soul. Sometimes, it wasn’t outward praying, it wasn’t loud praying. It was in the soul, it was in his mind, it was in his thoughts when he went to sleep, it was in his thoughts when he woke up. When he was resting, it was in his thoughts. When you pray in your thoughts, it is as effective, and has the same value, as if you had prayed outwardly. Then you have fasting prayer, is the ultimate in power (Matthew 17: 18 – 21). That’s when the devil walks on lightning and flees. How much? You have to see how the Lord moves upon you, and so forth. Let the Lord lead you on when to fast and for how long. But if you are not able to fast, stick to a fervent prayer, a steady prayer, a consecutive prayer, a systematic prayer, where it’s done in the morning, in the evening and you’ll build up like a pyramid and then you’ll have reserve, you’ll have a substance, you’ll have power and you speak, something will take place. So, when you pray, you are asking a request. By that, you stop, and you accept in your heart what you have asked for, you believe that you have it. You believe that you receive it because God said so. You hold onto that. Then, if you want to continue praying and worshipping the Lord, and praising the Lord, the anointing will grow more stronger to even back up what you’ve just said. When you are praying, remember that the Lord dwells in eternity, where He already knows all that is in the future. Isaiah 57: 15: “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy”.
I read from Scroll # 23, Part II: TIME AND ETERNITY – (The Past, Present and Future) They are all the same to God (He created time when He created death) What is time? There is no such thing as time with God. (It is eternal) Time was created when God announced death on Adam and Eve. If they or people did not have to die there would be no such thing as time! It would be eternal. Dying produces a “Time Limit” – to God there is no past or future. Everything is past to Him, “He already knows all that is future.” That makes it all past tense! The fourth or all dimensions are only normal to Him, (but future to us) There is no beginning or ending with God. So there is no time for Him, only man has a time limit (cycle) and it is about finished!
I continued with the Sermon: “Everything is past to Him”. “He already knows all that is future”. Numbers 23: 19: “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Psalm 90: 4: “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.” The reason why any promise that the Lord makes will come to pass is because, as far as He is concerned, it has already come to pass; it is as yesterday when it is past. He is looking right now at that promise being fulfilled, even though it is still in the future to us. 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.” Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” It means in the sight of the Lord, we have already been glorified and the translation has already taken place, for it is as yesterday when it is past. John said I “saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven”; “the tabernacle of God is with men” (Revelation 21: 2 – 3). As far as the Lord is concerned, we are already dwelling with Him in the beautiful holy city, our eternal home, for it is as yesterday when it is past. Philippians 4: 19: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” In Matthew 6: 25 – 33, the Lord Jesus states, “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”. He also states, “for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things”. It means, as far as the Lord is concerned, He has already supplied every need you will have. He has foreseen the future and knows what you will need and when, and has already gone ahead and provided it to you, for it is as yesterday when it is past. Isaiah 65: 24: “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer”. 1 John 5: 14 – 15: “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” Therefore, when you pray, you are not saying anything new to the Lord. He already knew your request, and if it is according to His will, you have the answer to your prayer, even before you prayed. That is faith, accepting as done in your heart what you are asking the Lord to do, because as far as He is concerned, it is already in the past. Psalm 100: 4: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” God hears this kind of prayer, this kind of prayer reaches God, the one that opens with worship and ends with worship, added to praise and thanksgiving, that reaches God. That is the kind of prayer. Prayer that opens worshipping the Lord, and prayer that ends worshipping the Lord, added to faith and thanksgiving, that reaches God.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, March 3, 2024 Please find attached a summary of the sermon that was preached last Sunday – on March 3, 2024. Jesus did some things in the Old Testament, the Lord God moving, then come back in the New Testament and done other things to show you no matter what your problem is, no matter how many negatives that are in your life, He can reverse it. Jesus spoke to a blind man and he could see in Mark 8: 23. He spoke to seeing men and they became blind (2 Kings 6: 18). He spoke to the raging sea, it became calm (Matthew 8: 26). He spoke to the calm sea, and it become araged (Jonah 1: 4). Jesus spoke to a fish and it picked up a coin (Matthew 17: 27). He spoke to another fish and it picked up a man (Jonah 1: 17). God did not give us His name in the Old Testament, but gave it to us in the New Testament, as Jesus. Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that “The mighty God” would be born as a child. 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.” Matthew 1: 21 gave us His name: “thou shalt call his name JESUS”. Jesus told the Jews that Abraham was glad to see Him. 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.” But there is another Universe that has no ending to it at all and that one is the spiritual Universe of God. In that spiritual part, that is connected to His spiritual Universe, my, what a prize, you just don’t have any idea and believe me, there is no reverse in there. That is positive, that is powerful, you are living in the body and the glory of the Lord constructed to fit you, Amen. That you can agree with Him, and you will feel some things that you’ve never felt before. And you’ll be changed to feel them. Colossians 3: 3: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Our life is currently hidden with Christ, who is God, in God. When we get to heaven, we will continue to live in God: “you are living in the body and the glory of the Lord”. That is why, when the Lord comes for us in the translation, we will be able to go with Him, glorified, because we have been living in Him, and we will continue to live in Him. Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” The Lord Jesus has a place prepared for each one of us. John 14: 2 – 3: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that Jesus is the Father, “The everlasting Father”. What the Lord prepares for you will be constructed to fit you, so that you can agree with Him. It states: “you are living in the body and the glory of the Lord constructed to fit you, Amen. That you can agree with Him, and you will feel some things that you’ve never felt before. And you’ll be changed to feel them.” You will be given a new name that is unique to you. Revelation 2: 17: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” What a great and mighty God that we serve. You will be blessed.  Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, March 3, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Amazing Sings”, CD # 1029 (Part II), preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: In the very beginning, we have what we’ll call a positive, a spiritual type of throne, and so forth, with God. Then you have the negative with Lucifer. I create evil, saith the Lord, although, He came to them as goodness. So you had the negative with the positive sitting there, and the negative was cast out like lightning. So we had in the very beginning, God’s creation of the good, of the evil and so forth like that. Then we had what we call a material Universe. Now, that material Universe is not exactly down here on the earth, and where people are at and so forth like that. Some places, we don’t know what’s all out in there. But here, it’s not exactly what you will call all positive. It’s kind of negative because it’s material. But there is another Universe that has no ending to it at all and that one is the spiritual Universe of God. Oh, if you could see that one. It is the positive even of the negative material Universe. Now there is something, created, made out of eternal and what He has done is beyond any type what we see in this Universe, which is on and on, there’s no end to His infinite. So we have what we call the positive Universe, which is God, the spiritual. Then we kind of have the negative where sin is committed and so forth like that, the forgiveness of sins has come. Then we have in the very beginning, we know there was a void. We don’t know how far in between that, but Lucifer fell. And when he did, whatever was there, was a cataclysm and there was a void left. Then we see, at one time, over the earth, great ice sheets covered the entire earth; the United States was covered by ice. We have the poles and the arctic to prove it to this day. And they know that the ice kept receding, they can tell by the years it went back. And it kept receding. God took care of the ice, moved it back on out of the way. And all of a sudden, the seed began to come out of the ground, Eden. So there we find out the negative like the sheets of ice, the great glacial age, the dinosaur before that, and so forth in there. And then the positive, not exactly all positive like God, but as a paradise, then God brought in paradise, tropical weather, beautiful. See, the ice gone, receding clear back. So we have what we call the type of positive. But in the Bible, the Lord revealing His amazing signs and wonders. What He will do in the Old Testament, He’ll come back around in the New Testament will do. There was light and then darkness and so forth, the negative of the light. The sun, we find night, day, and so forth like that. So we see it going back and forth. Jesus did some things in the Old Testament, the Lord God moving, then come back in the New Testament and done other things to show you no matter what your problem is, no matter how many negatives that are in your life, He can reverse it. He can reverse anything, by those atoms, any which way He wants to go. You take some atoms. The finger’s gone. He can call the atoms, certain types of atoms meant for that finger, when you speak, it’s created, just like that. Or the one, the priest’s ear was cut off by one of the Apostles. When he did, Jesus picked it and put it back on him and He created (Luke 22: 50 – 51). Those type, whatever caused all that, happened all at once. Because we are made up of molecules, electrons and so forth, negatives and positives and so forth like that, electrical volts in our hearts, our heart pumping all that. If you can get in there, you can really see how God created something incredible when He even made man. He is way beyond that in the spiritual. So our body, the atoms and so forth like that, each particle and so forth, when He creates, He just calls for that. And if it gets sick, He just reverses that. What is cancer? It is the opposite of the life cells, the positive cells. It is the negative cells of death. They try to take away from life; soon the body dies. The personality goes back to God and so forth and He puts him where He wants to. Jesus spoke to a sick man and he became well. He rose off his cot well (Matthew 9: 6). He spoke again and a man became sick, just the opposite (Acts 12: 23). In the Old Testament of time, we are under grace, God’s grace, how sweet it is; His great grace. And, back in the time, they had no grace that we have today. And they just went on and on. Sometimes, hundreds of years, and very little was done because they didn’t have the type of salvation and the deliverance. The Holy Spirit was come upon them in different ways and they got by with quite a bit, and the Lord allowed them to get by with quite a bit. In the Old Testament of time, they can marry 50 or 100 wives, if they can take care of them. Under grace, everything is changed. Somebody said, well, God, why didn’t He give a woman all the husband that she wanted. Because they didn’t want to get pregnant that often. But many women at that time, the burden was taken off of one. One will only have one, maybe in lifetime, with King David and maybe with Solomon. And David had 500 wives, I believe, with 300 or 200 concubines, so forth like that. That’s the Old Testament type at that time, but that was populating, and so forth like that. When God says that was right, it’s right. In the New Testament, He swung around under grace, everything has changed. Jesus spoke to a blind man and he could see in Mark 8: 23. He spoke to seeing men and they became blind (2 Kings 6: 18). Jesus spoke to a man servant; he was healed of palsy (Matthew 9: 2 – 7). He spoke and the servant of Elisha became a leper. He healed ten lepers (Luke 17: 12 – 14) and then He spoke to Elisha’s servant and he become a leper (2 Kings 5: 27). Jesus spoke and the man with a withered hand was healed in Mark 3: 5. A man had a withered hand and Jesus spoke and the hand straightened out, just like that. He took the curse off. In fact, He’ll take any curse that any devil ever put in or allowed to be put in the Old Testament. Indirectly, the Lord doesn’t do it. He allows Satan to do all those things, but then he was created for that. He spoke and the hand of the King became withered. And it withered up because he disobeyed the Lord (1 Kings 13: 4). Jesus spoke to a dumb man and he could talk (Matthew 9: 33). He caused Zacharias to be dumb so he could not talk (Luke 1: 20). If you’ve got anything that the devil is making in reverse or negative, just have God reverse it. It’s simple as that; He can do it. Jesus spoke to a deaf man and he could hear Him and he could talk (Mark 7: 35). He spoke to a crippled man and he could walk. Now it was Jesus who said who made man’s mouth, who made the dumb, the deaf, the seeing or the blind. Have not I the Lord? Because they would not listen, into sin and so forth like that. So the Lord has a way, indirectly, to doing it in Exodus 4: 11. Howbeit, He doesn’t smite anybody Himself. But because they constantly go in error and constantly reject the Lord in His power, in His word, in His divine love, and all that He has, then mercy runs out and then Satan is able to get in there and try to cause them trouble or smite them and so forth. And in His great mercy, He always can, you can cry out under grace and He will be right there. In the boat to where Jesus came, the disciples had the reverse of faith. And when Jesus come on out of the dimension and step on the water in front of them, He was above the water, walking around. You know one time, Israel looked up and said they saw the God of Israel on a pavement of sapphire standing there (Exodus 24: 10). And anyway, the disciples that had worked miracles, that had been with Jesus, here they were afraid and Jesus said Oh, ye of little faith. They have no faith, Him walking on the water there, the disciples, they had no faith at all, but I tell you one thing, it was mercy that reached down when their faith ran out (John 6: 16 – 21). They had no faith at all at that time, but it was mercy that saved them. And many times today, people’s faith don’t reach where it should, and under that divine grace, His mercy goes into action, because if it was according to the faith the disciples had at that time, sunk, see, mercy saved them. He is full of mercy, it endureth for ever and ever. And under grace, with such promises, and such things that God has promised us that He will do, let us don’t stand still, let us move on up, moving into that realm, the power that God has sent to His people. Deuteronomy 32: 39: “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.” 1 Samuel 2: 6: “The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.” Satan can say so many things, but when God says it like that, you can take it down that it means something there. Jesus spoke and a fever left a woman’s body (Luke 4: 39). He spoke to one bent over and she stood straight in Luke 13: 12. Jesus spoke to a dead girl and she lived again (Mark 5: 41 – 42). Yet in the Bible, He cursed some up, curse came upon them. And He spoke and some fell dead by the thousands. The Angel of the Lord smote a hundred and something thousand, I believe it was, Syrians, at one time, overnight and slay them out just like that (2 Kings 19: 35). In the Old Testament, it shows manna, bread coming down. It shows Elisha the prophet took a little piece of bread and just fed a multitude of men, about a hundred of them. Then in the New Testament, the Lord came back and He was trying to prove by His amazing signs, that He was giving, He proved, He turned around with a few loaves of bread, turned around and fed a whole multitude of five thousand. He was showing what He was going to do. Sometimes, He’s showing what He was going to do and backed it up in the New Testament. He spoke to a dead stick and it became alive. He cursed another stick, a fig tree, and it went dead. Moses had a staff in his hand, a stick, and in that staff, God spoke and showed him His power. It turned to a serpent. It alerted him, that shocked him out of whatever he was thinking. God knows how to wake you up. For all those years that he was in the wilderness there, about 80 years, he went out there in the wilderness. He had only 40 more years left for the Lord, something like that, and he thought, well, my time, it looks like it’s going on by. And he’s kind of daydreaming. Evidently, God didn’t quite get his attention like He wanted. That bush had him startled. And a voice coming out of that bush; he said I’m hearing things. And then, He said, you see that stick in your hand. He said look at it. And that stick moved, turned into a deadly serpent, probably one of those cobras and stood up looked at him. And then he woke up. And God said, which way do you want now? So the serpent turned back to a stick in his hand (Exodus 4: 1 – 3). A dead stick come alive (Numbers 17: 8). Jesus spoke to a live fig tree and it died (Mark 11: 12 – 14, 20 – 21). He spoke to a dead man and he become alive (John 11: 43 – 44). He spoke to the raging sea, it became calm (Matthew 8: 26). He spoke to the calm sea, and it become araged (Jonah 1: 4). God spoke to a gourd vine and it grew in one night (Jonah 4: 6). Now at the end of the age, He is fixing to do a short, quick, work because this is associated after the sudden great, sweep, revival that hit Nineveh. Thousands, yea, multitudes, came to God all at once and repented of their sins when the Prophet finally went to them. God can do what He wants to overnight, anything that He wants to do. He spoke to a worm and it cut the vine down the next day (Jonah 4: 7). Jesus spoke to a fish and it picked up a coin (Matthew 17: 27). He spoke to another fish and it picked up a man (Jonah 1: 17). God is great. He can speak to nature, He can speak to fish, they obey Him. He can speak to any animal you want and you’ll see that animal act like a human, go and do what He says do, just like that. And you’ll never be able to understand how He does it, but it’s that simple to Him, right there. You know all these languages in the world that we have today. He understands all of those languages, every one of them. We’ve got a great God that can do all kinds of things. The Lord speaks to anything. He can speak to any object. He said if you have faith, as a mustard seed, you can say unto this mountain be thou removed, be thou cast into the sea, and that object will obey you (Mark 11: 23), or any mountain of sickness, anything that you wanted to do, God will do it for you. And today, the Saints of the most High God, speak by the authority of the Lord, and they must speak it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And there is the authority. So, at the end of the age, what we speak, is what Jesus will speak, and the anointing, when you speak, it will take place. No matter what’s wrong in your life, He’s the all powerful God. We have the power, and the power is given. He said all power I give unto you. He said you have all power over the enemy, so nothing by any means shall take advantage or hurt you or do anything to you (Luke 10: 19). The end of the age, the earth been tilted off, it’s out of it’s foundations, according to Psalms (Psalm 82: 5). So, we have cold, harsh weather, storms, tornadoes and hurricanes, freezing weather, cosmic-like storms, and so forth like that over the earth, and quakes, but He’ll right it, at that great time, the axis. And when He does, it will go back into the millennium. And the weather will be back then positive. It will be a tropical paradise again on the earth for a thousand years during the time the Lord is here. But in His spiritual kingdom, the elect, they’ll be in something that is different than this earth here at that time. Then later, there’ll be a new heavens and a new earth. In that spiritual part, that is connected to His spiritual Universe, my, what a prize, you just don’t have any idea and believe me, there is no reverse in there. That is positive, that is powerful, you are living in the body and the glory of the Lord constructed to fit you, Amen. That you can agree with Him, and you will feel some things that you’ve never felt before. And you’ll be changed to feel them. How great it is. I’ve spoke about forgiveness and when a person can’t forgive, the whole gospel is based on forgiveness when He come at the cross. And when a person is able to forgive, divine love has become master, saith the Lord. So, when you see forgiveness and people that can forgive, and people that forgive, you are seeing divine love, because without divine love, there is no forgiveness, saith the Lord. Through salvation, Jesus said, I have saved all that shall ever come and heal all that shall ever be, that believe in words that I speak, they can have it and will have it.
I started the sermon: Jesus did some things in the Old Testament, the Lord God moving, then come back in the New Testament and done other things to show you no matter what your problem is, no matter how many negatives that are in your life, He can reverse it. Jesus spoke to a blind man and he could see in Mark 8: 23. He spoke to seeing men and they became blind (2 Kings 6: 18). He spoke to the raging sea, it became calm (Matthew 8: 26). He spoke to the calm sea, and it become araged (Jonah 1: 4). Jesus spoke to a fish and it picked up a coin (Matthew 17: 27). He spoke to another fish and it picked up a man (Jonah 1: 17). God did not give us His name in the Old Testament, but gave it to us in the New Testament, as Jesus. Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that “The mighty God” would be born as a child. 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.” Matthew 1: 21 gave us His name: “thou shalt call his name JESUS”. Jesus told the Jews that Abraham was glad to see Him. 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.” The Lord can get your attention: Moses had a staff in his hand, a stick, and in that staff, God spoke and showed him His power. It turned to a serpent. It alerted him, that shocked him out of whatever he was thinking. God knows how to wake you up. And then, He said, you see that stick in your hand. He said look at it. And that stick moved, turned into a deadly serpent, probably one of those cobras and stood up looked at him. And then he woke up. And God said, which way do you want now? So the serpent turned back to a stick in his hand (Exodus 4: 1 – 3). The Lord understands all languages; He is the Creator of all mankind: God is great. He can speak to nature, He can speak to fish, they obey Him. He can speak to any animal you want and you’ll see that animal act like a human, go and do what He says do, just like that. And you’ll never be able to understand how He does it, but it’s that simple to Him, right there. You know all these languages in the world that we have today. He understands all of those languages, every one of them. The Lord Jesus has tasted death for every man. It means He has the offer of salvation for every human being. 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.” There will be people in heaven from every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. Revelation 5: 9: “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation”. There will be a quick powerful work of the Lord at this end of time: Now at the end of the age, He is fixing to do a short, quick, work because this is associated after the sudden great, sweep, revival that hit Nineveh. Thousands, yea, multitudes, came to God all at once and repented of their sins when the Prophet finally went to them. The Lord speaks to anything. He can speak to any object. He said if you have faith, as a mustard seed, you can say unto this mountain be thou removed, be thou cast into the sea, and that object will obey you (Matthew 17: 20 – 21), or any mountain of sickness, anything that you wanted to do, God will do it for you. And today, the Saints of the most High God, speak by the authority of the Lord and they must speak it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And there is the authority. So, at the end of the age, what we speak, is what Jesus will speak, and the anointing, when you speak, it will take place. No matter what’s wrong in your life, He’s the all powerful God. We have the power, and the power is given. He said all power I give unto you. He said you have all power over the enemy, so nothing by any means shall take advantage or hurt you or do anything to you (Luke 10: 19). I read from Scroll # 45: THE RAINBOW EYE OF FIRE – Just before the rapture the Bride will receive the 7 revelation anointings of God! It will be the Royal anointing from her King (Jesus) Rev. 4: 5 The 7 lamps of fire will give her immense light for the Bride will even glow! The 7 spirits combined will be on the Bride like a “rainbow eye of fire”, (revelation wisdom) They receive all this for rapturing faith, and the false church receives the 7 last combined plagues for destruction! (Rev. 15: 1) The Head (Christ) will soon unite with His body (The Elect) It will be a “supernatural miracle body” working signs and wonders! The Head (Christ) will tell the body when to move and what to do. The Head is the Word of God to the Body (The Elect) and they speak only His Word! All of God’s power was poured into Christ, and all of Christ power will be poured into the Elect. (St. John 14: 12) They will be in His very image even united as One, so close together that the body can not deny the head. (The Bride and spirit become one) When the head gets together completely with the body the rainbow anointing will break forth in 7 revelation spirits of wisdom and power! Remember Joseph’s colorful coat saith the Lord (Gen. 37: 3) Forgiveness is divine love: And when a person is able to forgive, divine love has become master, saith the Lord. So, when you see forgiveness and people that can forgive, and people that forgive, you are seeing divine love, because without divine love, there is no forgiveness, saith the Lord. Through salvation, Jesus said, I have saved all that shall ever come and heal all that shall ever be, that believe in words that I speak, they can have it and will have it. Colossians 1: 14: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins”. God’s spiritual Universe: But there is another Universe that has no ending to it at all and that one is the spiritual Universe of God. In that spiritual part, that is connected to His spiritual Universe, my, what a prize, you just don’t have any idea and believe me, there is no reverse in there. That is positive, that is powerful, you are living in the body and the glory of the Lord constructed to fit you, Amen. That you can agree with Him, and you will feel some things that you’ve never felt before. And you’ll be changed to feel them. Colossians 3: 3: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Our life is currently hidden with Christ, who is God, in God. When we get to heaven, we will continue to live in God: “you are living in the body and the glory of the Lord”. That is why, when the Lord comes for us in the translation, we will be able to go with Him, glorified, because we have been living in Him, and we will continue to live in Him. Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” The Lord Jesus has a place prepared for each one of us. John 14: 2 – 3: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that Jesus is the Father, “The everlasting Father”. What the Lord prepares for you will be constructed to fit you, so that you can agree with Him. It states: “you are living in the body and the glory of the Lord constructed to fit you, Amen. That you can agree with Him, and you will feel some things that you’ve never felt before. And you’ll be changed to feel them.” You will be given a new name that is unique to you. Revelation 2: 17: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” What a great and mighty God that we serve.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, February 11, 2024 The sun hasted not to go down about a whole day (Joshua 10: 13). It means it was not exactly a whole day; it says about a whole day. This is no doubt true, but the remainder of time, about 40 minutes, because they’ve studied this, which is 10 degrees of the sun dial, was made up in the days of Hezekiah. Water baptism is for a sign, you’ve been saved, but it’s the blood and salvation that saves you, but it won’t save you. Christ Jesus does that. Only the Lord Jesus can save you. You become saved first, and then you have water baptism to testify to the fact that you are saved. The Lord has done something in nature in such a way that man does not know exactly what day or where he’s at. And if he thinks he does, he is wrong because God has fixed it that Satan himself don’t know where he’s at, because the way the Lord does things, Satan is unable to find out which day the translation takes place, but the Lord knows which day it is. Satan is confused too. The Lord restores the day that was lost at the end of the great tribulation and great day of the Lord. During the millennium, there will be perfect calendar – 360 days a year, 30 days a month; best weather on the earth – the seasons are back to normal, Eden-like weather, no extreme heat, and no extreme cold; animals change in their behavior; men live much longer. If they go up once a year to worship the Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, they will go on the right day. So, the business of saying unless you go to church on Saturday or Monday or some other day or Tuesday or Wednesday, that you won’t make it in, is wrong. You’ll make it in if you have the Lord Jesus. They can’t tell you anything, but out of honor, we worship the Lord on Sunday. In some places, they do not have anointed church, and my advice to them is to stay with the Bible, listen to those cassettes, read those Scrolls and you’ll make it alright. If they can find a real anointed church that does not work against the Godhead, does not work against miracles, does not work against the revelations of the Bible, then, of course, you must go if you can find such anointed church that believes in miracles, and believes it right. Otherwise, you’ll be in confusion and lose out on every side. A real anointed church will be a place where they do not work against the Godhead. It means they recognize that the Lord Jesus is “The mighty God” (Isaiah 9: 6), and that there is no other God besides Him (Isaiah 45: 21 – 22). If they say you get to heaven only by going to church on Saturday, that’s a lie to begin with. You must have salvation and the Lord Jesus. I know people that’s in the wilderness and they don’t have any place to go and those people will be in heaven because they’ve got a Bible and they love God and they have salvation and they believe in the power of the Lord. What are you going to do about the darkest places where missionaries have been and a few here and a few there have been saved in the darkest regions and the Bibles were left with them and every once in a while, they go back to them and fly them things and so forth like and they love the Lord. They don’t really have a place to go to church, but God will translate them if they are the real seed of God. Every day to them is a day of the Lord. Those people that live in the darkest regions of the world, and are genuinely saved, do not come across as many of the things of the Lord as we have. However, they will also be translated. If they were given the chance to come across the Scrolls, Special Writings and hear the sermons on CDs and videos just as we have, they would also believe these revelations of the Lord. John 11: 25 – 26: “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this?” Our Lord Jesus, the eternal God, is saying if you have true salvation in your heart, you will be translated, irrespective of whether you are dead or alive on the day of translation.
You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, February 11, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Bible And Science”, CD # 1027 A, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Not only here, but in the mail, and some people here, have asked me about the seventh day or the Sabbath. People are so worried about that. In the Bible, it clarifies it. Some people even believe that if they don’t get the right day, that they have received the mark of the beast, if they don’t get in on the right day or they don’t have salvation, and that’s not true and it worries some people. But a certain day won’t save you. Water baptism is for a sign, you’ve been saved, but it’s the blood and salvation that saves you, but it won’t save you. Christ Jesus does that. Only the Lord Jesus can save you. Revelation 1: 10: “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.” Whatever day that John chose while he was on Patmos, probably the tradition or back in the custom or the religious of times, he was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day. And then he was given these great visions and wonderful visions that were coming from the Lord. But it was the Lord’s day. And whatever day he chose to set aside on Patmos was a special day. But we know him, being alone on Patmos, that each day was special. But in his heart of the time, of him growing up, how the religion was, they had a certain day. And he was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day and he heard a trumpet. So it was on the Lord’s day that he was doing that. Accurate studies reveal, there are of course many Scriptures in the New Testament, which show that the seventh day, which was given as a sign to Israel, is not applicable to the church today, exactly. It was given to Israel, but we do have a day set aside and God’s honored that day. Romans 14: 5: “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” He had Gentiles that had a certain day. He had Jews that had a certain day. Romans or Greeks, they had certain days. Colossians 2: 16 – 17: “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” The Lord has done something in nature in such a way that man does not know exactly what day or where he’s at. And if he thinks he does, he is wrong because God has fixed it that Satan himself don’t know where he’s at, because the way the Lord does things, Satan is unable to find out which day the translation takes place, but the Lord knows which day it is. The days have been changed by God Himself. All that will be righted later. So we see that the Lord has done that to put Him first. He must come first because that will settle it there. Christians are not to judge on the basis of observance or non-observance of Saturday; they think you have to go on Saturday. Why the observance of our present Saturday could not be valid, even if it wanted to be. Each day should be the Lord’s day to us, a special day. But you can have a special day to unite, and not forgetting the assembling of yourselves and that we have done on Sunday which the Lord has made a day. And those who do not have anointed church, I used to say find a church somewhere to go to, but now the Lord has spoken to me. In some places, they do not have anointed church, and my advice to them is to stay with the Bible, listen to those cassettes, read those Scrolls and you’ll make it alright. But if you’ve got a place such as this, what is happening here and the power of the Lord, for the Lord to instruct you, as a sign and leadership, then be there. That’s Him talking, that is no longer man. But if they can’t, they must do the best that they can. If they can find a real anointed church that does not work against the Godhead, does not work against miracles, does not work against the revelations of the Bible, then, of course, you must go if you can find such anointed church that believes in miracles, and believes it right. Otherwise, you’ll be in confusion and lose out on every side. If there’s no anointed church, you stay with the Bible and you stay with the cassettes and I guarantee, you have church every day. He’s fixed it in the anointing and the power of those revelations that they have church every day. So, God has made it so hard to choose a day because He wants to be put first. The record says that the sun stood still in the heavens and hasted not to go down about a whole day. It said about a whole day. We’ll go to Hezekiah and get those 10 degrees, 40 minutes. God didn’t just heal him and show him a sign, He did something else upstairs. I know that; He showed me that. He’s a God of time and eternity. Joshua 10: 13: “And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.” Let’s illustrate this in Joshua’s long day. You can say it on any day, but if you start on Sunday, the first day of the week; any other day can be chosen. Sunday ended and Monday came while the sun was yet in the sky. It took in Monday too. It hasted not to go down, and the moon either, for a whole day. In other words, stayed up there for 24 hours nearly, in the heavens. Tuesday, in a matter of succession, was only the second day of the week. Wednesday was the third day. Thursday was the fourth day. Friday was the fifth day. Saturday then becomes the sixth day. And Sunday was the seventh day, by the movement there. Where is that day? By the original creation, Saturday was on the seventh day, but because of the loss of one day at the time of Joshua, it becomes in succession the sixth day. Satan is confused too. Try to find out which day the Lord is coming on. He kept it perfect in succession. Satan almost figured that out and could have probably, but it is interrupted. He's going to do some more, to do with time at the end of the age in shortening. Sunday therefore, has the distinction of becoming, by the original creation the first day of the week, but by point of succession, because of Joshua’s long day, it is also become the seventh day. Likewise, Saturday is by the original creation the seventh day, but in the point of succession, however, it is now only the sixth day. The only way you can disprove this is to say God did not stop the sun, however He did it up there. It is to disbelieve Joshua’s miracle. Otherwise, you have to believe this way. God knows what He is doing. The significance of all this has upon the teaching that Saturday is the only true day to worship is obvious. Sunday, by creation, is not only the first day of the week, the day of the Lord, arose from the dead on that day, but by succession, due to Joshua’s long day, it is the seventh day. Joshua’s day changed it. The Scriptures making it clear that Christians are not to be judged on the basis of observance or non-observance on Saturday. Joshua’s miracle of the long day absolutely shows that the observance of our present-day Saturday could not be valid because it’s moved back to the sixth day and then Sunday comes in on that day, and then Monday the first day of the week. God has fixed it. Sunday becomes the seventh day again; each day has moved ahead. Therefore, if they say it was on Saturday, it’s not there anymore; that day has been moved. And if they say it was another day, each day has been moved. Each day should be a special day. So, do not put any day ahead of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the day the Lord hath made. It does not matter at all to Him, but that we love Him on the day that we meet, on Sunday, and every day of the week; it’s only a uniting day and He evidently has honored this day, regardless. He says at the end of the age, that the Antichrist will change the times, the days and the seasons (Daniel 7: 25). He will try to change those around to where he probably will be worshipped on some other days. But while we are here now, I believe Sunday. Somebody said, well you have to go on Saturday; no, you don’t. Paul said you don’t, not judge that. Somebody said you have to go on a Monday; no, you don’t; don’t judge that. They can’t tell you anything, but out of honor, we worship the Lord on Sunday. It seems to be, away from the job and the work and a clear day to, after you prepare and rest, and get things ready on Saturday to come on in because they work five days a week. So, it seems to be as good a day to me as any day. If it was Monday, it won’t make any difference to me. People say you get to heaven by what day you go to church on; no. If they say you get to heaven only by going to church on Saturday, that’s a lie to begin with. You must have salvation and the Lord Jesus. I know people that’s in the wilderness and they don’t have any place to go and those people will be in heaven because they’ve got a Bible and they love God and they have salvation and they believe in the power of the Lord. What are you going to do about the darkest places where missionaries have been and a few here and a few there have been saved in the darkest regions and the Bibles were left with them and every once in a while, they go back to them and fly them things and so forth like and they love the Lord. They don’t really have a place to go to church, but God will translate them if they are the real seed of God. Every day to them is a day of the Lord. So, each day should be the Lord’s day to us. Each day we should love the Lord. And then on one day, we unite together and show Him how much we really love Him and how much we believe Him and then help one another to be delivered, to be saved and filled full of the power of God and keep full of the power of God and remind them of the signs of the time and what is taking place. The miracle of the sun going down backwards 10 degrees: The sun hasted not to go down about a whole day. It means it was not exactly a whole day; it says about a whole day (Joshua 10: 13). This is no doubt true, but the remainder of time, about 40 minutes, because they’ve studied this, which is 10 degrees of the sun dial, was made up in the days of Hezekiah (2 Kings 20: 1 – 11). God brought it together and concluded as a whole day. About a whole day the sun stood still. So, at 10 degrees, it will be about 40 minutes more, it would have been. Now, God when He healed Hezekiah, He gave a sign and He began to move in the Universe and began to move in our solar system again. Hezekiah’s faith changed, not only the picture, but it changed history some. God chose the time. When Joshua was there, at the time it took place, Moses could easily have done it, but the providence of time, in God’s timing, it had to take place, and the Lord wanted it to take place at the time Joshua was standing there at that exact day, because pre-arranged, God had it ready. So, Hezekiah, instead of dying, was healed because that he believed God. God is a God of miracles. He is therefore the God of both time and eternity. So, when the time came for Hezekiah to die, God stopped the clock some way and He turned it backwards until the fatal moment passed. Of course, all these could not have been done for Hezekiah’s benefit alone. And He told him, He said that I would heal him then because of his faith, you go tell him, to Isaiah the Prophet and I will turn the sun dial back 10 degrees, which is 40 minutes, and let it pass over. He should be healed and I will add 15 more years to his time. Now when that sun dial went backwards, 10 degrees, that’s 40 minutes, and the sun hasted to go down about a whole day, there’s your whole day gone right there. God came back and made it a whole day. So we find out it was not for his benefit alone. God causes all events in the Universe to interweave together in fulfilling His eternal plan. The 40 minutes that were missing in Joshua’s long day were now accounted for. Joshua came first, and the day was about a whole day and then when he got the last 40 minutes, the whole day now, in succession. Scientists claim, that through computation somehow, that a whole day has been lost or they would had to say about a whole day. But we see, not only did He heal a man and work a miracle and gave him a sign, but He absolutely worked a plan to bring about the 40 minutes that He needed to complete the whole day. And He chose these two men, Joshua and Isaiah and Hezekiah, and therefore His plan was complete and a whole day is missing, the long day. Therefore, at that time, Joshua’s long day was accounted for completely, for Israel was getting ready, right after Hezekiah, to go into captivity. The seven times of judgement against her were about to begin. God was preparing now for a new dispensation, because the dispensation of Christ was soon to come through Daniel’s prophecy, when the captivity did come right after Hezekiah and the children were swept into Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. At that time the Prophet received a visitation and pointed to next one, they went home, that the Messiah surely would come; 483 years later that point, Messiah would arrive. And the dispensation of Christ would come to them, connected to such a miracle as that. And you say, well, what is all of this about then? Well, that day, nobody knows what day to worship God on. One day, Paul said, seemeth as another day. Do not condemn one over the other one. Do not judge one over the other one, but in your heart, if you know that’s the day the Lord blesses, and you know that’s the day God’s working for you, that settles it for your heart. You see the miracles working, you see the Lord revealing His word, you feel His power, and you feel Satan knocking at you. So, the business of saying unless you go to church on Saturday or Monday or some other day or Tuesday or Wednesday, that you won’t make it in, is wrong. You’ll make it in if you have the Lord Jesus. And I mean, the Lord will bless you. How will you like to be standing there and watch 40 minutes just disappear backwards in there, lose it. That’ll add to the other, about a whole day, now is a whole day gone. That’s exactly why He done that with Hezekiah. He didn’t do it just for Hezekiah’s benefit, but He chose that day to bring that complete day together. One thing, Satan now is lost. He does not know what day the Lord will come on. Do you realize that? Will it be the day, had He not tampered with it, will it be that numerical value of the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, one of those that had been changed? Will He come on the day that would have been changed, or how was it changed? We don’t know, no one knows. This one thing we do know, not the day or the hour, but this one thing we do know that He is coming on a certain day and it will be a special day. So, He’s made it so hard that you do not condemn or judge, etc., like that. I believe for me, that Sunday is good enough for me. If God tells me another day, well then, that’s good enough for me too. At the end of the age, the Book of Revelation chapter 8, we find out that in the solar system, it begins to be changed some. The moon only shines for about a third of the day, the sun about a third of the day. You see what He’s doing, they are losing time. And He is beginning to speak. Then we find out that He said there’ll be a shortening of time. Now, that’s probably going to deal in years. And when He said shortening of time, that very word takes in many things. Already, one shortening of the time is they’ll have only one third by night, one third by day for a while. And when you begin to do that, pretty soon, you catch up on that one day that was lost. But when He said shortening of time, it means this, at the end of the age, as He shortens that time back, that one day is going to be restored, out of those years. Then the Bible says in Revelation 16 and chapter 6 and verse 12, He absolutely says the axis of the earth will change again, as probably during that time, because those axis were changed or He did something for that one day to be like that. That’s in the Scriptures. You must remember that this earth, to Him, is like you taking a few little marbles in your hand and move them around. It means nothing to Him. In Revelations and also in Isaiah, you can see Him bringing those axis back because the Book of Psalms said for the very foundations are out of course (Psalm 82: 5). And that’s what brings the extreme weather, that’s what brings the freezing weather, the tornadoes, the hurricanes, our hot droughts, famines, is because the degrees of the axis are not right. During the time of the flood, some of that happened when the foundations were broken up and the deep, and asteroids moved out of their places, drawing the ocean water over on land. And those axis are set back into order at the end of the great tribulation. They begin some when the moon only shines a third by night and the sun a third by day, she begins to change. And at the end of the great tribulation, pretty soon, the sun and the moon both don’t shine for a while. The kingdom is in darkness and chaos across the face of the earth, and the Lord intervenes in Armageddon. And then at the end of those chapter 6 and chapter 16 and Isaiah 24, the earth begins to change and the greatest earthquakes this world has ever seen, every mountain is laid low, all the cities of the nations fall, because of the great earthquakes. What will cause a thing like that? The earth is turning. He is righting those axis for the millennium because then we’ll have 360 days a year, 30 days a month. The calendar comes back perfect. It’s all throwed off. And when He rights that degrees back, then of course, Isaiah’s book is true. Then our seasons, it says, are back to normal. And you don’t have any extreme heat nor any extreme cold. It says during the millennium, the weather is marvelous, the most beautiful weather. It’s Eden again, saith the Lord. And He brings that back. People live to great ages again, that’s after a certain group went out of atomic war that He has of the nations. The Bible itself says how the weather changes and how all the animals change. So we find out that the day that was lost, the long day, God has righted it back when He changed those axis so that this earth could be then in perfect climate. The climate would be perfect. You won’t see any tornadoes, you won’t see any hurricanes, you won’t see any extreme heat. All you will see is the finest, beautiful weather that you’ve ever seen in the world because the climate at that time will run just about like it did or similar as it was in Eden because in Revelation 6, at the end of that chapter, will show you the earth is changing back to normal again. Armageddon is over with. God has come to the earth and He has made it right. He’s put that day back in order. Then, if they go up once a year to worship the King during the millennium, they’ll hit the right day. Romans 14: 5: “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” Colossians 2: 16 – 17: “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” What He’s saying is you need Jesus. Here’s what Paul run into and the Lord gave him permission to write it because It had to come at that time. He run into those that believed one day was better than another day and that they only had the right day and the other believed in the new moon’s going to church, the other one believes on the sabbath’s day, one believed that you couldn’t eat no meat, you eat herbs, the other eat meat condemns the other, condemns back and forth, and Paul said they just killing their faith, just tearing everything up, and some of them drink different kinds of herbal juices, different things like that, wouldn’t eat any meats, some with meats. One said this is weak because he does that in faith, the other said this is weak because he does his in faith. Both of them saying they have the right way. But Paul said don’t judge one another in those things; just leave them alone. He said for it is the body of Christ that you need to get into and stay into the body of Christ and get out of those arguments and genealogies and all of those things. Today, arguing about one day above another day. But don’t forsake the assembling together where there’s a good place that you can find God. God has a special day for that translation. And by doing what He did in the heavens, He has hid it. No man is going to be able to know anything.
I started the sermon: Joshua’s long day (about a whole day): Joshua 10: 13: “And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.” Let’s illustrate this in Joshua’s long day. You can say it on any day, but if you start on Sunday, the first day of the week; any other day can be chosen. Sunday ended and Monday came while the sun was yet in the sky. It took in Monday too. In other words, stayed up there for 24 hours nearly, in the heavens. Tuesday, in a matter of succession, was only the second day of the week. Wednesday was the third day. Thursday was the fourth day. Friday was the fifth day. Saturday then becomes the sixth day. And Sunday was the seventh day, by the movement there. Where is that day? Joshua’s miracle of the long day absolutely shows that the observance of our present-day Saturday could not be valid because it’s moved back to the sixth day and then Sunday comes in on that day, and then Monday the first day of the week. Therefore, if they say it was on Saturday, it’s not there anymore; that day has been moved. And if they say it was another day, each day has been moved. The miracle of the sun going down backwards 10 degrees: The sun hasted not to go down about a whole day. It means it was not exactly a whole day; it says about a whole day. This is no doubt true, but the remainder of time, about 40 minutes, because they’ve studied this, which is 10 degrees of the sun dial, was made up in the days of Hezekiah. Now, God when He healed Hezekiah, He gave a sign and He began to move in the Universe and began to move in our solar system again. So, when the time came for Hezekiah to die, God stopped the clock some way and He turned it backwards until the fatal moment passed. So we find out it was not for his benefit alone. God causes all events in the Universe to interweave together in fulfilling His eternal plan. The 40 minutes that were missing in Joshua’s long day were now accounted for. Water Baptism: Water baptism is for a sign, you’ve been saved, but it’s the blood and salvation that saves you, but it won’t save you. Christ Jesus does that. Only the Lord Jesus can save you. You become saved first, and then you have water baptism to testify to the fact that you are saved. Colossians 1: 14: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins”. Don’t judge others with regards to what day to worship God or on what to eat: What He’s saying is you need Jesus. Here’s what Paul run into and the Lord gave him permission to write it because It had to come at that time. He run into those that believed one day was better than another day and that they only had the right day and the other believed in in the new moon’s going to church, the other one believes on the sabbath’s day, one believed that you couldn’t eat no meat, you eat herbs, the other eat meat condemns the other, condemns back and forth, and Paul said they just killing their faith, just tearing everything up, and some of them drink different kinds of herbal juices, different things like that, wouldn’t eat any meats, some with meats. One said this is weak because he does that in faith, the other said this is weak because he does his in faith. Both of them saying they have the right way. But Paul said don’t judge one another in those things; just leave them alone. He said for it is the body of Christ that you need to get into and stay into the body of Christ and get out of those arguments and genealogies and all of those things. Today, arguing about one day above another day. Satan or man does not know the day of Translation: The Lord has done something in nature in such a way that man does not know exactly what day or where he’s at. And if he thinks he does, he is wrong because God has fixed it that Satan himself don’t know where he’s at, because the way the Lord does things, Satan is unable to find out which day the translation takes place, but the Lord knows which day it is. Satan is confused too. Satan almost figured that out and could have probably, but it is interrupted. One thing, Satan now is lost. He does not know what day the Lord will come on. God has a special day for that translation. And by doing what He did in the heavens, He has hid it. No man is going to be able to know anything. How does the Lord restore the day that was lost? The Lord restores the day that was lost when the sun and moon do not shine for a third of the day and of the night, when the sun and moon do not shine for a while and as the earth’s axis is being restored, we will have the greatest earthquakes, every mountain will be laid low and the cities of the nations will fall (Revelation 8: 12, Revelation 6: 12; Revelation 16: 18 – 20; Isaiah 24: 1; Isaiah 24: 19 – 20). And when He said shortening of time, that very word takes in many things. Already, one shortening of the time is they’ll have only one third by night, one third by day for a while. And when you begin to do that, pretty soon, you catch up on that one day that was lost. But when He said shortening of time, it means this, at the end of the age, as He shortens that time back, that one day is going to be restored, out of those years. And those axis are set back into order at the end of the great tribulation. They begin some when the moon only shines a third by night and the sun a third by day, she begins to change. And at the end of the great tribulation, pretty soon, the sun and the moon both don’t shine for a while. The kingdom is in darkness and chaos across the face of the earth, and the Lord intervenes in Armageddon. And then at the end of those chapter 6 and chapter 16 and Isaiah 24, the earth begins to change and the greatest earthquakes this world has ever seen, every mountain is laid low, all the cities of the nations fall, because of the great earthquakes. I read from Scroll # 23, Part II:
“BEHOLD THIS IS THE DAY OF THE GREAT GOD ALMIGTY.” Possibly 1½ billion people die before the plagues are stopped! The world as we know it is changed. When the seventh angel sounded Jesus said it is done! (Rev. 16:17) (Moses was a prophetic type of this only his plagues were minor to these! (Ex. 8) Here are the events that are fulfilled under the last 7th vial plague (Rev. 16: 17-20) The main events are: (1) Great atmospheric explosions with thunders and lightning! (2) The greatest earthquakes the world has ever known, as Jerusalem is divided into 3 parts! (3) The great cities of the nations fall. (4) Great hail falls. (5) Mystery Babylon receives the fullness of God’s wrath! (6) The destruction of the anti-christ and the chaining of satan! Also the shame of the nations who did not die. Zech. 14-16. What happens after the lost day has been restored? The Lord restores the day that was lost at the end of the great tribulation and great day of the Lord. During the millennium, there will be perfect calendar – 360 days a year, 30 days a month; best weather on the earth – the seasons are back to normal, Eden-like weather, no extreme heat, and no extreme cold; animals change in their behavior; men live much longer. If they go up once a year to worship the Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, they will go on the right day. What will cause a thing like that? The earth is turning. He is righting those axis for the millennium because then we’ll have 360 days a year, 30 days a month. The calendar comes back perfect. It’s all throwed off. And when He rights that degrees back, then of course, Isaiah’s book is true. Then our seasons, it says, are back to normal. And you don’t have any extreme heat nor any extreme cold. It says during the millennium, the weather is marvelous, the most beautiful weather. It’s Eden again, saith the Lord. And He brings that back. People live to great ages again, that’s after a certain group went out of atomic war that He has of the nations. The Bible itself says how the weather changes and how all the animals change. So we find out that the day that was lost, the long day, God has righted it back when He changed those axis so that this earth could be then in perfect climate. The climate would be perfect. You won’t see any tornadoes, you won’t see any hurricanes, you won’t see any extreme heat. All you will see is the finest, beautiful weather that you’ve ever seen in the world because the climate at that time will run just about like it did or similar as it was in Eden because in Revelation 6, at the end of that chapter, will show you the earth is changing back to normal again. Armageddon is over with. God has come to the earth and He has made it right. He’s put that day back in order. Then, if they go up once a year to worship the King during the millennium, they’ll hit the right day. Going to church on a day to worship the Lord: Each day should be the Lord’s day to us, a special day. But you can have a special day to unite, and not forgetting the assembling of yourselves and that we have done on Sunday which the Lord has made a day. Romans 14: 5: “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” Colossians 2: 16 – 17: “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” So, the business of saying unless you go to church on Saturday or Monday or some other day or Tuesday or Wednesday, that you won’t make it in, is wrong. You’ll make it in if you have the Lord Jesus. They can’t tell you anything, but out of honor, we worship the Lord on Sunday. It seems to be, away from the job and the work and a clear day to, after you prepare and rest, and get things ready on Saturday to come on in because they work five days a week. So, it seems to be as good a day to me as any day. If it was Monday, it won’t make any difference to me. People say you get to heaven by what day you go to church on; no. So, do not put any day ahead of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the day the Lord hath made. It does not matter at all to Him, but that we love Him on the day that we meet, on Sunday, and every day of the week; it’s only a uniting day and He evidently has honored this day, regardless. So, each day should be the Lord’s day to us. Each day we should love the Lord. And then on one day, we unite together and show Him how much we really love Him and how much we believe Him and then help one another to be delivered, to be saved and filled full of the power of God and keep full of the power of God and remind them of the signs of the time and what is taking place. So, God has made it so hard to choose a day because He wants to be put first. If you do not have an anointed church to go to: In some places, they do not have anointed church, and my advice to them is to stay with the Bible, listen to those cassettes, read those Scrolls and you’ll make it alright. If they can find a real anointed church that does not work against the Godhead, does not work against miracles, does not work against the revelations of the Bible, then, of course, you must go if you can find such anointed church that believes in miracles, and believes it right. Otherwise, you’ll be in confusion and lose out on every side. A real anointed church will be a place where they do not work against the Godhead. It means they recognize that the Lord Jesus is “The mighty God” (Isaiah 9: 6), and that there is no other God besides Him (Isaiah 45: 21 – 22). 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.” Isaiah 45: 21 – 22: “Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” If there’s no anointed church, you stay with the Bible and you stay with the cassettes and I guarantee, you have church every day. He’s fixed it in the anointing and the power of those revelations that they have church every day. You will be translated if you have true salvation in your heart: If they say you get to heaven only by going to church on Saturday, that’s a lie to begin with. You must have salvation and the Lord Jesus. I know people that’s in the wilderness and they don’t have any place to go and those people will be in heaven because they’ve got a Bible and they love God and they have salvation and they believe in the power of the Lord. What are you going to do about the darkest places where missionaries have been and a few here and a few there have been saved in the darkest regions and the Bibles were left with them and every once in a while, they go back to them and fly them things and so forth like and they love the Lord. They don’t really have a place to go to church, but God will translate them if they are the real seed of God. Every day to them is a day of the Lord. Those people that live in the darkest regions of the world, and are genuinely saved, do not come across as many of the things of the Lord as we have. However, they will also be translated. If they were given the chance to come across the Scrolls, Special Writings and hear the sermons on CDs and videos just as we have, they would also believe these revelations of the Lord. John 11: 25 – 26: “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this?” Our Lord Jesus, the eternal God, is saying if you have true salvation in your heart, you will be translated, irrespective of whether you are dead or alive on the day of translation.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, January 21, 2024 For all other names have no substance, but there is substance to Jesus’ name. In that name is sweet, there is substance. The name has substance. No other name has it like that One. Remember that all the days of your life for He is the only way that will open the key to heaven. You can’t get in there with any other name or any other title or any other king or any other prince upon this earth. The name Jesus has substance to it because it is the name of the eternal God; that is His name because He is our Savior; He tasted death for every man (Isaiah 9: 6; Matthew 1: 21; Hebrews 2: 9). The name Jesus means “Wonderful”, it means “Counsellor”, it means “The mighty God”, it means “The everlasting Father”, it means “The Prince of Peace”. Isaiah 63: 16: “O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting”, right through Christ, right straight on up to the throne, it is everlasting. Thy name is everlasting into eternity and even the new name of our God will be given, it will match. It will be there, His name forever. His name is from everlasting. His name shall endure forever. It will continue with us forever. It is with us, the Lord Jesus (Psalm 72: 17). The name Jesus has been in existence from eternity, for He was slain before the foundation of the world, and it will last into eternity, for God’s new name will match the name Jesus. Some say that the name Jesus is just a common name, but God says there is no other name of deity given to us from anywhere, in heaven and earth, except the name of the Lord Jesus. There is where the power is, no other name given (Acts 4: 12). He made it that simple. You don’t have to depend on a thousand different names or a thousand different organizations or a thousand different traditions. You only have to depend on the name of the Lord Jesus. That makes it simple and powerful. He is the mighty King, the Rock of Ages, Almighty God is He. The eternal God has no other name. He has only one name, the Lord Jesus. Matthew 6: 9: “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” When you pray, realize that you are praying to the Lord Jesus, for He is “The mighty God”, He is “The everlasting Father” (Isaiah 9: 6); realize that His name is hallowed; it means His name is holy (Isaiah 57: 15; Psalm 103: 1). You can’t make Him as some man or some super prophet or some major prophet or some secondary God or somebody that was truly a great second God or a great man or a great prophet. You make Him what He is, you believe Him what He is, you’ll get all you want from Him. The Lord Jesus is the Creator of all things (Colossians 1: 16 – 17). If you settle it in your heart that the Lord Jesus, our Savior, is “The mighty God” (Isaiah 9: 6), you will love His appearing. “And unto them who will take my name will become my Bride.” “And unto her is given my Kingdom to rule with Me!” “For even now the time must shortly come when I will take her to My palace.” You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, January 21, 2024 We listened to a sermon titled “Significant Facts”, CD # 1025B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Significant facts: Oh, what power, what a majestic name, what a marvelous wonder worker, none can compare, what divine love to the lost, what redemption. Here are some words of wisdom and knowledge and it will do you good. It will steer your faith; it will renew your faith and it will bring deliverance. Some say that the name Jesus is just a common name, but God says there is no other name of deity given to us from anywhere, in heaven and earth, except the name of the Lord Jesus. There is where the power is, no other name given (Acts 4: 12). Isaiah 63: 16: “O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting”, right through Christ, right straight on up to the throne, it is everlasting. Thy name is everlasting into eternity and even the new name of our God will be given, it will match. It will be there, His name forever. His name is from everlasting. His name shall endure forever. It will continue with us forever. It is with us, the Lord Jesus (Psalm 72: 17). His name is wonderful. In Isaiah 9: 6 begins to bring it too. How great and how mighty God that He is. His name is wonderful. Jesus our Lord. He is the mighty King. He is master of everything. If you want to get prosperity and healing and deliverance, get some of this in your soul. For all other names have no substance, but there is substance to Jesus’ name. In that name is sweet, there is substance. The name has substance. No other name has it like that One. Remember that all the days of your life for He is the only way that will open the key to heaven. You can’t get in there with any other name or any other title or any other king or any other prince upon this earth. The only name that will let you in that door and the key is the Lord Jesus, or you cannot come in here. He made it that simple. You don’t have to depend on a thousand different names or a thousand different organizations or a thousand different traditions. You only have to depend on the name of the Lord Jesus. That makes it simple and powerful. He is the mighty King, the Rock of Ages, Almighty God is He. Jesus knows all things. Jesus fills all things that’s spirit. Ephesians 4: 10: “that he might fill all things”. He fills all space and all substance. For I will send the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, in my name and He will not speak of Himself, He will speak of me (John 16: 13). He is all eye, He is all ears, He is all mine, He is all Spirit. He is everywhere. When He talked to multitudes, they marveled, saying, how does He know these things, having never learned? (John 7: 15). How does He know all these things? The Bible only printed a very little of what He said. No doubt, He spoke about astronomy, He spoke about letters, all kinds of things that He thought in a moment to startle them. This man, it said, that speaks these things, has never learned. How does He know all of these things? The knowledge of the Infinite. It is said Jesus never went to school, yet man called Him a teacher and a master. He never attended law school, yet He instructed the lawyers when they come to Him, the Bible says so. And the doctors when they were around, He showed them how to heal the sick quick. He never attended college, yet He taught the wise men when He was a boy, twelve years old. He dumbfounded them and startled them at twelve years old in the temple (Luke 2: 41 – 47). Before He made the world, He planned all the major events that were to take place upon the earth, even before He created the world (John 1: 10; Acts 15: 18). God, you only know all things, no one else does (1 Kings 8: 39). Peter said, Jesus, Lord, you know all things (John 21: 17). Now, what’s your need tonight? What do you need from the Lord Jesus, that He don’t already know that you need, that He is waiting for you to reach out by faith. And He will give it to you. The same Lord who extended Hezekiah’s life for 15 years, turns the sun dial back for 40 minutes, 10 degrees, stops the sun and moon, however He did it for Joshua, the same Lord also extended the life of Lazarus, the widow’s son, Jairus’ daughter, by raising them from the dead when He walked (2 Kings 20: 1 – 11, Joshua 10: 12 – 14, John 11: 1 – 26, Luke 7: 11 – 16, Mark 5: 21 – 24, 35 – 43). There is power in that name. And when they tried to kill that name, that name was resurrected again as the eternal One. There is only one Holy Spirit light, the great Creator. And that light manifests in those three offices, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, but these three, the Bible said, are one light, not three personalities. Jesus is omnipotent, that is, He alone has all power. If you don’t believe it, read Revelation 19: 6 (“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.”) He alone has performed all the supernatural signs, wonders and miracles since the world began. Jesus came to earth by miracle and He left by miracle. He alone is omnipotent and power. Paul said He is the only Potentate (1 Timothy 6: 15). He’s our Savior, He won’t forsake us. Stay with Him, He abides. He alone is omnipotent and power. He’s omniscient and intellect, the mind and wisdom the world has never seen. He’s infinite. He’s omnipresent in spirit. It means He’s everywhere. There’s no place that He is not. He doesn't have to come and go. He’s already there. He is eternal. He is infallible in all that He says or does. You go to believing in that way, you have a miracle in your hand. You can’t make Him as some man or some super prophet or some major prophet or some secondary God or somebody that was truly a great second God or a great man or a great prophet. You make Him what He is, you believe Him what He is, you’ll get all you want from Him. Don’t get in between. If you do, you’ll be smashed by that Headstone. He said all those that fall upon that stone shall be saved, but all it falls upon at the end of the age will be smashed and ground to powder. Stay with the Lord Jesus because that is the name of that stone. In the Bible, He was the headstone that came, the chief cornerstone to the Jews that was rejected. He is infallible in all that He says and does. Men may not print it right, may not get it right when they read it or when they do something. But any word that that Master has ever spoken to the Hebrew or the Greek, no matter how they wrote it, you can count on it; it’s infallible. Men may not get it perfect, but God was perfect when it was spoken and always will be and can never change and it will never be off guard. He’s always there. He's infinite, we are human. As a baby, He terrified King Herod; we’ve got to get rid of Him. He was shaken. The devils in that guy were just shaking, killed all the babies (Matthew 2: 1 – 12, 16 – 18). As a boy, He confounded the wise men (Luke 2: 41 – 47). As a man, He talked to multitudes (Matthew 5: 1 – 2; Matthew 11: 7; Matthew 13: 2 – 3). But as God, He rebuked the raging sea (Matthew 8: 23 – 27). And as God, He created the loaves; He just kept handing it out; it just kept being created (Matthew 14: 13 – 21; Matthew 15: 32 – 38). As a man, He wept (John 11: 35). One time, my friend Lazarus is gone. And then as God, He said, come forth Lazarus and he came out of there; He said loose him now and let him go (John 11: 43 – 44). I have extended his life like I did Hezekiah. Even was transfigured in front of three disciples. When He looked at them, His face was altered upon the hill and the cloud came over them. And the face that they saw was changed and it disappeared, the skin rolled back and the eternal One stood before them and His face was like cosmic lightning and it flashed in white. And they looked upon Him and fell down and said Oh Lord, let’s build a temple here, what a place. Two great men of the Bible appeared, Moses and Elijah, one on each side, coming to Him, voice spoke, thundered out of heaven, standing there as God, transfigured. Then He changed back and He spoke to them as a man will talk and said tell it to no man. Transfigured again, back as the Ancient One. Matthew 17: 1 – 9. If all the people can center Him in their hearts. As a man, He was hungered at times (Matthew 21: 18). He would sleep some (Matthew 8: 24). But as God, He was awake all of the time, knowing all of the needs of all the people and what was in the whole universe. And Jesus said, the same Jesus that’s standing with you upon this earth is in heaven too (John 3: 13). Let us shout glory and honor and power and might be unto our Lord God, for ever and ever (Revelation 7: 12). If you see all of the outstanding miracles in the Bible that were performed, in such a way that they were performed and the miracles that you see that God is doing now, you can only say that the living God has performed those miracles. And in that name of the Lord Jesus, he is our redeemer and our miracle worker. Now, if you’ve been wanting something from the Lord, you let this substance remain in your soul. You take this substance tonight in that name and you believe it like that with all of your heart and you will be surprised what will be coming your way from day to day, month to month and as long as we are on this earth. If you keep pushing and believing that, how wonderful He is, such great love. We have human love and we have divine love that gets in us from the Spirit. But His love is total. There is no one with such divine love as the Lord Jesus. None can do what He can do. It is perfect.
I started the sermon: For all other names have no substance, but there is substance to Jesus’ name. In that name is sweet, there is substance. The name has substance. No other name has it like that One. Remember that all the days of your life for He is the only way that will open the key to heaven. You can’t get in there with any other name or any other title or any other king or any other prince upon this earth. 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.” Matthew 1: 21: “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” The name Jesus has substance to it because it is the name of the eternal God. That is His name because He is our Savior. He tasted death for every man. 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 name Jesus means “Wonderful”, it means “Counsellor”, it means “The mighty God”, it means “The everlasting Father”, it means “The Prince of Peace”. Isaiah 63: 16: “O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting”, right through Christ, right straight on up to the throne, it is everlasting. Thy name is everlasting into eternity and even the new name of our God will be given, it will match. It will be there, His name forever. His name is from everlasting. His name shall endure forever. It will continue with us forever. It is with us, the Lord Jesus (Psalm 72: 17). The name Jesus has been in existence from eternity, for He was slain before the foundation of the world, and it will last into eternity, for God’s new name will match the name Jesus. Revelation 13: 8: “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” There is power in that name. Jesus is omnipotent, that is, He alone has all power. He’s omniscient and intellect, the mind and wisdom the world has never seen. He’s infinite. He’s omnipresent in spirit. It means He’s everywhere. There’s no place that He is not. He doesn't have to come and go. He’s already there. He is eternal. Some say that the name Jesus is just a common name, but God says there is no other name of deity given to us from anywhere, in heaven and earth, except the name of the Lord Jesus. There is where the power is, no other name given (Acts 4: 12). Some say that the name Jesus is just a common name, but God says there is no other name of deity given to us from anywhere, in heaven and earth, except the name of the Lord Jesus. There is where the power is, no other name given (Acts 4: 12). He made it that simple. You don’t have to depend on a thousand different names or a thousand different organizations or a thousand different traditions. You only have to depend on the name of the Lord Jesus. That makes it simple and powerful. He is the mighty King, the Rock of Ages, Almighty God is He. The eternal God has no other name. He has only one name, the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus is the everlasting Father; He is the mighty God (Isaiah 9: 6). He is the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1: 18 – 25). Matthew 6: 9: “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” When you pray, realize that you are praying to the Lord Jesus, for He is “The mighty God”, He is “The everlasting Father” (Isaiah 9: 6); realize that His name is hallowed. It means His name is holy. Isaiah 57: 15: “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy”. Psalm 103: 1: “BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” If you want to get prosperity and healing and deliverance, get some of this in your soul. He is infallible in all that He says or does. You go to believing in that way, you have a miracle in your hand. You can’t make Him as some man or some super prophet or some major prophet or some secondary God or somebody that was truly a great second God or a great man or a great prophet. You make Him what He is, you believe Him what He is, you’ll get all you want from Him. Paul (at that time called Saul) found out that the Lord Jesus is the eternal God when he was on his way to Damascus. Acts 9: 5: “And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest”. He was then able to write that the Lord Jesus is the Creator of all things. 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.” I read from Scroll # 35: “Behold what I have spoken about the water is true! What I have spoken about my name is true! It is I the Lord Jesus which has spoken unto my people the Bride! And unto them who will take my name will become my Bride. And unto her is given my Kingdom to rule with Me! For she has spiritually married me and has taken my name the Lord Jesus Christ, for she is My own, the very handy work of my spirit! For even now the time must shortly come when I will take her to My palace. Watch! I say watch! – Behold now is the end of the age come! And I will reveal hidden manna! I was God walking in the body of Jesus, walking the hot roads of Galilee, and gave rest to the weary! Healing the sick of Israel! I am your Lord let no man deceive thee! And there is no other God besides Me! Behold I have hidden myself in Jesus in such away that the foolish virgins and the world can not see Me, Until the time that I shall reveal it, but My Elect was born to believe it and another they will not hear I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, YEA A MANS HAND HAS NOT WRITTEN THIS, BUT THE HAND OF POWER THE LORD OF HOST HAS WRITTEN IT!
2 Timothy 4: 7 – 8: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” “And unto them who will take my name will become my Bride.” It means it is only those who understand that the Lord Jesus is the eternal God will “love His appearing”. There is no other God besides Him. When the translation takes place, the dead in Christ and those who are alive in the Lord Jesus will be changed, and will be taken to the marriage supper of the Lamb. Revelation 19: 9: “And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” “And unto her is given my Kingdom to rule with Me!” Revelation 3: 21: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne”. The Lord is coming for us shortly, to take us to His palace. “For even now the time must shortly come when I will take her to My palace.”
