Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 23, 2023

Yes, the Lord knows you even more personally than you know yourself! In His infinite love and wisdom He has a plan for you and every person born in this world! The choice of His will for your life will last into eternity!

There will be many trials and tests, but they are all in God’s plan for your life.

If you are the elect of God, you have salvation and you love God, your life has been nothing short of a miraculous and don’t let the devil tell you any different.

If you love God and you have salvation and you feel in your heart and know that you’ve been called by God and chosen by God, your life has been miraculous. I don’t care how many failures you’ve had, how many times you’ve run up against the wall, that is absolutely thus saith the Lord. If you are His, it will be that way.

And the bride at the end of the age, there will come a great moving of God like He did on Elijah the prophet and it will move in great tremendous power and all of the defeats or the failures or the tests and the trials will be swept away for God is preparing them to get in the whirlwind of fire with Him and be translated.

You can look back then to your earliest life and then you’ll begin to see it right straight up where you’re at and project almost what’s going to happen.

And Paul said coming to the fullness and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and the measure and stature of the mind of Christ.

The Angels of the Lord will be in our midst in this great revival, and they will separate those who are not of the Lord from those that the Lord will be taking with Him when the translation takes place.

In the net, it was Angels that did the final work and quickly with men. And those Angels, in the other dimension working, really put things together quick.

The Lord’s plan for your life is an eternal plan. You will complete the part of the plan that is for this earth and you will continue into eternity the rest of His plan for your life.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 23, 2023

We listened to a sermon titled “The Miraculous Process”, CD # 987B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

Matthew 13: 3 – 4: “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”.

Matthew 13: 8: “But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.”

Let’s take for instance one parable where some brought forth more than others. The ones that fell by the wayside and the ones that the birds got, they never activated what they received. They never put it into action and therefore, they just dried away. So, at the end of the age, one of the most important things is you must activate on what the Lord gives you to do.

The greatest revival will come from the Holy Spirit choice. How that He moves, it will be overwhelming, finally that He will move in such a way in a quick short work.

The miraculous process in two ways: things concerning our life, spiritual events in the individual and the kingdom of God.

Some things that happen in your life, like healings and miracles, are instantaneously. Sometimes, healings is like a process, but those are miraculous events. But other events in your life, they will be a process from your birth until your work is finished on this earth or until you are translated. It is a process.

Adam and Eve, at first, when they committed the sin, they had to live with it for years. In fact, God allowed them to live 900 and something years. So, they’ll never forget what act had occurred in their lives. But before their lives was over with, in a process, they saw one of their childs was destroyed. But before their lives was fulfilled, they got to see Seth, they got to see the coming of the Messiah which will redeem back all that was lost by them and through a process, their lives turned out beautiful in the work of God.

Noah labored on the ark and sometimes, it looked like probably he will never be able to complete the task. Everything would go wrong, but he stayed with the word of God. And after 120 years, through a process, he was able to fulfill His plans and the Lord blessed him.

In each individual, it’s like a fingerprint, everyone’s different. In each individual, there’s a pattern. There is a plan for your life. And as you work into this plan, then you begin to feel a more fulfillment in your life as you grow towards what the Lord wants you to do.

Remember Abraham, in his life he saw many events. Many miraculous things took place, but two events in his life took many, many years of waiting, really old in age, 90 something. And the child was born by a miraculous miracle and a process. God had fulfilled what He told him He’ll do before he was taken away or before he died. One of His prophecies, one of the things that God gave that he believed for, took 400 years and it was fulfilled in the eyes of the children of Israel when they crossed over into the promised land.

We know in the Bible, Moses, he waited 80 years, through the process in the fulfillment of his life, but he got to see the children of Israel come out. But it took, and the children of Israel themselves had to wait, many, many years.

And through this process, people begin to appreciate what God does for them. It means something to them. Unless they appreciate God’s work, unless they appreciate what the Lord is doing for them, it doesn’t matter.

So, that’s why there are many trials, there are many tests, in the process, in a Christian life.

But we are headed for a final fulfillment. And that fulfillment in each individual’s life in here is getting very close and you can feel it too.

We have Elijah the prophet. Sometimes, he didn’t know, and he is more like the elect of God than anything in that Bible if you trace his life. He was turned back seemingly, and it seems like no one at that time would listen to that prophet. The quicker they could get out of his way, the better it was. And when he said it won’t rain, it won’t rain. And when he said it would rain, it would rain. The Lord was trying through him to get the attention of the king and the attention of the people. But finally, through the process of God, all the events in Elijah’s life, his ups and downs and whatever happened, and he had some of the greatest miracles of all time. He was even transported in different places we could find from the Scriptures and other miraculous events took place in his life that never happened before in an individual’s life. And then in the final fulfillment, he picked his successor, he crossed the river, and in the joy, he entered the chariot of the Lord and he was taken away.

So, there is a process in each individual.

There’s only one way to bring true revival and that is through the process and it will come like a seed through the process.

We are living in the most miraculous age that we have ever lived in before. And it will be swift and events will be sudden in your life, but you are in a process, leading to the very explosion of it, right into the point when events will move swiftly for your life and the ones will be positioned and come in, like God wants them because He does it in such a way Satan is dumbfounded, he does not know what to do.

Each one of you now, don’t rush God, wait patiently on the Lord, act your faith at all times and whatever, but He will finally bring it into fruition.

The parable of the slow growth:

Mark 4: 26 – 29: “And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.”

You rise day and night and you’ve been a planted seed and you’re growing. You do not know how God is going to bring your mysterious life out. You are an individual. Sometimes you can’t see anyway and that is why we have a God. You do not understand how the Holy Spirit is going to bring you. You don’t understand the whole thing, maybe yourself, how it all took place. And how He is going to bring His church at the end of the age. But through this development, of this seed, like the wheat, the corn, it will reach its fulness.

And your life can be taken, the same as this parable to the church. It serves two purposes. The individual Christian life. At first, there’s just a little seed, salvation. It doesn’t look like much. And then it begins to grow. Then you put on the blade, so forth. You get anointed, the Holy Spirit, and you begin to grow in the process and develop. Your faith becomes powerful, kind like the mustard seed.

And it grows and as you develop, in your life through the process, you will fulfill your course.

He has a pattern for your life just like He put the stars in all of their places which outnumbers us many billions of times, quadtrillions of times, and they are all in their particular spots and places. How much more a few individuals on this earth?

When we come to the full corn in the ear, our work will be finishing up. It’s harvest time completely.

Immediately, when it becomes full ear in the corn, He putteth in the sickle because harvest is come. What’s going to happen? It’s just like the process where I said it comes to a point and events will begin to move fast. And they will move rapidly in your life to position you in faith and power with the Lord and His elect church.

What is the work of the Holy Spirit? We preach the gospel, we plant the seed, but it is the Holy Spirit that does the processing in the life of the church and brings each individual through that process.

With the coming of the full ear, immediately, changes in life and faith will take place, miracles will begin to change and creative power, more awesome power and the anointing will change and mean something differently to you, the way you’re thinking and you’re doing as it comes into full ear. The individual will reach his process with God.

And Paul said coming to the fullness and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and the measure and stature of the mind of Christ.

And it is into the very headstone, capstone of God that He begins to guide His church, supernatural knowledge and wisdom and power and there is what’s going to take place.

The way you think, the way that you see the outlook and the Scriptures and my sermons and the way He’s moving will all begin to change as it comes to full ear. Then most of you will begin to understand your life better and then many of you, all of the elect, I believe, will begin to see the coming of the Lord, how close it is and the season of the Lord and then the events in your life, that’s been kind of murky and dark, will begin to clear up.

You can look back then to your earliest life and then you’ll begin to see it right straight up where you’re at and project almost what’s going to happen. Because you are in the full corn of the ear now, through the process of the little seed as it grows up. And immediately, He putteth in the sickle, harvest is ripe, all of a sudden.

It’s slow growth, but all of a sudden, events begin to take place, and He hurries, and quickly.

The job of the net was Angels at the very end of it and when it’s once full, getting ready for the separation, and we are coming down to that process. And what it is, the Angels step up momentum, the Angels of the Lord, and you have never seen such a tremendous power.

Men will preach the gospel, work miracles, things will take place, but hidden in there, and some will even be revealed, that you’ll be able to see things that are coming from the Lord.

It was done in the Old Testament, done in the New Testament, and Jesus promised that it would be done in the day that we live in and we’ve even seen some of that.

How would you like to be sitting, if your faith is right and looking into the glories of God or see Angels? Now that’s common to some of the men of God in the Old, New Testament. And He said the works that happened there will happen again at the end of the age.

In the net, it was Angels that did the final work and quickly with men. And those Angels, in the other dimension working, really put things together quick. And when they did, what was brought to God, to the ministry or to the power of the Lord, it was a miraculous work, a miraculous process.

If you are the elect of God, you have salvation and you love God, your life has been nothing short of a miraculous and don’t let the devil tell you any different.

You can have the gifts, the power and the anointing and all of this, but yet, there is a process. And something else in there that will be given to His children at the final hour when He putteth the sickle in, immediately, it says, for harvest, that is timed to a split, I mean, fraction. He’s got it timed and immediately, it takes place and the harvest is just ripe.

That’s the first fruits and those are translated by the Lord. And the Lord has patience and He waiteth for the precious fruit, for the early rains, it says, in James, speaking of the end of the age.

The early and the latter rain, He waiteth for the fruits of the earth and then the Lord gets that fruit.

Your life, individual, as you pray yourself into the kingdom of God, by believing, then the events, leave them to Him and act accordingly to what the Scriptures tell you to do and you may rise day or night not knowing how the mysterious part of your life is, but He will bring it to His final process.

I started the sermon:

The Lord already has a plan for your life.

I read from Special Writing # 036:

“THE WILL OF GOD IN ONE’S LIFE”

My letter of encouragement this time concerns the will of God in one’s life! Yes, the Lord knows you even more personally than you know yourself! In His infinite love and wisdom He has a plan for you and every person born in this world! It is a definite plan; and He is nudging you into your place! He foresees all who are to be born; He sees the coming of each one!

The choice of His will for your life will last into eternity!

I continued with the Sermon:

The Lord has a plan for you and for every person born in this world, based on His infinite love and wisdom because He paid the price for salvation for each one of us. The eternal God became flesh and tasted death for each person.

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 many trials and tests, but they are all in God’s plan for your life.

If you are the elect of God, you have salvation and you love God, your life has been nothing short of a miraculous and don’t let the devil tell you any different.

Just before the translation, events will move quickly in your life just as events will come as a flood in the world.

There will be a tremendous amount of faith in your heart at this end of time. The Lord Jesus said we will do the works that He did, and even greater works (John 14: 12). You will begin to see how close the coming of the Lord really is.

And Paul said coming to the fullness and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and the measure and stature of the mind of Christ.

Ephesians 4: 13: “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”.

Then most of you will begin to understand your life better and then many of you, all of the elect, I believe, will begin to see the coming of the Lord, how close it is and the season of the Lord and then the events in your life, that’s been kind of murky and dark, will begin to clear up.

Matthew 13: 47 – 49: “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just”.

Men will preach the gospel, work miracles, things will take place, but hidden in there, and some will even be revealed, that you’ll be able to see things that are coming from the Lord.

In the net, it was Angels that did the final work and quickly with men. And those Angels, in the other dimension working, really put things together quick.

2 Timothy 4: 6 – 8: “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 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.”

The Lord’s plan for your life is an eternal plan. You will complete the part of the plan that is for this earth and you will continue into eternity the rest of His plan for your life.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 17, 2022

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 17, 2022

This sermon talks about what the Lord has waiting for those who continue in His word.

You shall become a pillar in the temple of God (Revelation 3: 12). That means you will have a position; a pillar is a position that holds authority and strength.

Revelation 21: 22: “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” Our Lord Jesus is the temple in our eternal home and He will make you a pillar in His eternal presence. It means you are not just coming to visit and then leaving. Rather, you are permanently in His presence for eternity.

You shall sit with Jesus in His throne (Revelation 3: 21), where all things are ruled and you will seat next to the One that created all things. You are sitting next to the Almighty God – not three seats or four seats away, but next to Him. You cannot have a higher position in heaven than sitting next to the Almighty God in His throne.

From that throne, we will behold all that the Lord God has created, where there is no end. We will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder.

I will write his name in a white stone and give him a new name, meaning because you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power. When he change your name, the whole thing changes.

He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

What is the second death? You won’t be touched by it if you follow instructions and follow the word, saith the Lord. The great eternal life, second death can’t bother you.

But another way it is too, is that eternal judgment could be that He could do away from you and eternally you will never be known no more. Will that be eternal judgement? Completely, forever away from God.

It means anyone who did not accept true salvation will be done away with, eventually, for eternity. It is as if such a person never existed.

To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna.

Now, that hidden manna will have to do with the Lord Jesus and His many secrets and what He reveals to His people. You will have knowledge of the secrets of God, some of which are hidden from the Angels.

The Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, will make you a pillar in His eternal presence. He will grant you to sit next to Him in His eternal throne where all things are ruled. He will let you see beautiful cities and places of such wonder that He has created, where there is no end. He will give you a new name because “you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power”. He will give you eternal life and the second death cannot bother you. You will have knowledge of the secrets of God, some of which are hidden from the Angels.

What a gracious God.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 17, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “Much given – Much Required”, CD # 919, Part Two, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 10/31/82 (AM)

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

We find out in the Bible, when the Lord gives a message, if the people do not follow it through, if they don’t act upon what the Lord has given in the message, sometimes they can leave and come back in worse shape than when they came before.

He will have a full house at the end of the age, the Bible says.

He will have a people that will follow through what He has given. That is the elect of God, that is the main body of Christ and that is the wheel of the Lord. And those people will follow through what has been preached and they will work upon that and the Lord will bring faith miracles in their lives.

You are my disciple if you continue in my word (John 8: 31).

Now at the end of the age, He will give messages and those messages acted upon will give them eternal life.

If they act upon those messages, they shall receive divine healing. If they act upon those messages, they shall receive salvation and they shall receive faith and they shall receive power.

Jesus Himself said to whom much is given, much is going to be required.

Those that follow instructions, those that act upon His word will be taken out, eternal life will be given them.

But the people that love God, they are going to follow on through and be better. They are going to follow on through unto more faith. They are going to act upon what God gives by His power and they are coming on through.

He will have a people and that’s the people that He is going to work with. They will follow through on the messages, they will follow through and receive their healings, they will receive salvation, they will receive power, they will receive instructions for their own lives because they are the seed of God.

We are going into a great revival and the revival will come from what? Following the instructions of the word of God. If they follow it through, they can’t help, but to win.

We must act upon the word of God. If we don’t, we become worse than we were when we first heard the word of God.

Remember He said, ye are my disciples if you continue in my word.

If you continue in His word, you can’t help but to believe God for a miracle. If you continue in His word, you can’t help to receive power and healing and baptisms of the Holy Spirit. If you follow the instructions of that word, you can’t help but to knock the devil down. If you follow the instructions, you will, saith the Lord, knock him down.

These promises are to those that follow through and act upon His word.

Revelation 2: 7: “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 tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”

That tree of life is the Lord Jesus. And there is where you will be. To him that overcometh, that follows through, that continues, shall receive, partake, of the tree of life.

He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death (Revelation 2: 11).

What is the second death? You won’t be touched by it if you follow instructions and follow the word, saith the Lord. The great eternal life, second death can’t bother you.

The Bible gives eternal judgment. But there could be a time where it is done away with, according to some other Scriptures; we really don’t know.

But you can say, being not hurt of the second death. Now, the second death, means after the judgement (Revelation 20: 11 – 15).

I believe the second death is like the eternal separation from God. You are eternally separated from that precious Holy Spirit. But another way it is too, is that eternal judgment could be that He could do away from you and eternally you will never be known no more. Will that be eternal judgement? Completely, forever away from God.

Just to be away from God, seeing what you miss, is torture enough. It will be uncomfortable. Just to be separated from the Holy Spirit will be agony.

The second death could be eternally done for, put out of the way, finally, after millions, millions of years.

To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna and give him a white stone and a new name in the stone (Revelation 2: 17).

Hidden manna: Jesus said I am the bread that came down from heaven, the spiritual bread (John 6: 31 – 58).

Now, that hidden manna will have to do with the Lord Jesus and His many secrets and what He reveals to His people and has a new name that no one knows will come to them and a white stone and he will partake of the hidden manna which we know is the Lord Jesus.

As He reveals His secrets, as He reveals His revelations and as He reveals the things that are coming in the heavenlies that has never entered into the heart or into the mind or the ears of the people on the earth.

Shall have power all the nations and rule with a rod of iron (Revelation 2: 26 – 27). That is complete authority.

If you follow through these instructions, you will have power, dominion and authority that you’ve never dreamed about, more than anybody else.

Each individual that makes it, you will have more authority, more power than anybody in this world has ever had and they will have it with the Lord Jesus. And I shall give you power over all the nations and power over kingdoms and dominions.

We don’t know how many places in the heavenlies that He’s got, but he shall receive power and He will be with you there.

You will never die again; you are eternal with Him (John 11: 25 – 26).

You shall be confessed before all the angels and everyone in heaven, to those that follow through my word (Revelation 3: 5).

You shall become a pillar in the temple of God (Revelation 3: 12). That means you will have a position; a pillar is a position that holds authority and strength. That is a great position that God is going to give.

You shall sit with Jesus in His throne (Revelation 3: 21), where all things are ruled and you will seat next to the One that created all things.

I will write his name in a white stone and give him a new name, meaning because you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power. When he change your name, the whole thing changes.

I started the sermon.

Revelation 21: 2 – 3: “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”

The holy city, the new Jerusalem, is coming from the eternal God. It is not coming from somewhere else. The “tabernacle of God”, God’s residence, “is with men, and he will dwell with them”. We are now dwelling with the Almighty God in this holy city. This is our eternal home with Him.

Revelation 3: 12: “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out”.

Revelation 21: 22: “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”

Revelation 21: 22 states there is no temple in the holy city. It means you will not find the temple of God in a particular corner in the holy city. Rather, the Lord God Almighty Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, is the temple in our eternal home and He will make you a pillar in His eternal presence.

Luke 1: 19: “And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.”

Isaiah 6: 1 – 4: “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.”

Revelation 4: 8 – 11: “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

You will find angel Gabriel (Luke 1: 19), the Seraphims (Isaiah 6: 1 – 4) and the Cherubims (Revelation 4: 8 – 11) in God’s presence, but you will also be there, because He has now made you a pillar in His presence. It means you are not just coming to visit and then leaving. Rather, you are permanently in His presence for eternity.

Psalm 100: 4: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”

Psalm 16: 11: “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

While we are on earth, by praising and worshipping the Lord, we can enter His gates and courts. When we are translated, we are dwelling permanently in heaven with Him. In His presence “is fulness of joy”.

You shall sit with Jesus in His throne (Revelation 3: 21), where all things are ruled and you will seat next to the One that created all things.

You will sit with our Lord Jesus, the Creator, in His throne, next to Him – not three seats or four seats away, but next to Him, where all things are ruled.

You cannot have a higher position in heaven than sitting next to the Almighty God in His throne.

From that throne, we will behold all that the Lord God has created, where there is no end.

I read from 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!

I continued with the sermon:

In addition to the holy city, we will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder that the Lord has created. We will see “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”. “Surely and definitely many marvelous mysteries await us that love Him! Literally more than trillions of creations will He unveil to His chosen!”

I will write his name in a white stone and give him a new name, meaning because you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power. When he change your name, the whole thing changes.

Shall have power all the nations and rule with a rod of iron (Revelation 2: 26 – 27). That is complete authority.

The Lord is going to give you a new name (Revelation 2: 17) because “you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power”. Once the Lord changes your name, everything regarding you changes. He now gives “you power over all the nations and power over kingdoms and dominions”.

You shall reign with Him.

He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death (Revelation 2: 11).

What is the second death? You won’t be touched by it if you follow instructions and follow the word, saith the Lord. The great eternal life, second death can’t bother you.

The second death could be eternally done for, put out of the way, finally, after millions, millions of years.

It means anyone who did not accept true salvation will be done away with, eventually, for eternity. It is as if such a person never existed.

To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna and give him a white stone and a new name in the stone (Revelation 2: 17).

In the sermon titled “Divine Purpose And Great Secrets”, CD # 1401, Brother Neal Frisby stated:

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.”

You have an earthly name which is not your real name. You will shed your earthly name. When you leave the earth, your name will change. He has your real name before the foundation of the world. This is a secret name that the Lord has given to you before you were born.

No man knows this name, but you and the Lord. You and the Lord have that code. The “hidden manna” is the Lord Jesus. A new name written. This new name you will receive will let you reach out and do things in the kingdom of God. You will be introduced to things that you have never seen.

“eat of the hidden manna” – more revelation of the Lord Jesus, knowledge of what He has, you will receive great secrets, you will have a deeper walk with the Lord Jesus. You will have knowledge of the secrets of God, some of which are hidden from the Angels.

What a gracious God.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 10, 2022

This sermon talks about igniting your faith.

Isaiah 46: 9 – 10: “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure”.

He is a thinking God, otherwise, it will not state: “My counsel”. It means the Lord God has already thought things through for eternity.

When you are God and there is none else, when you are God and there is none like you, you do not need the opinion of anybody else. You can declare “the end from the beginning”. You can, from ancient times, declare “the things that are not yet done”. You can declare your “counsel shall stand”. You can declare “I will do all my pleasure”.

Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that it is only the Lord Jesus Christ that can declare He is God and there is none else, that He is God and there is none like Him, because this Scripture states He is “The mighty God”.

Hebrews 11: 6: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

For you to have the faith for translation, for you to please the Almighty God, you must believe who He is. You must believe that the eternal God is the Lord Jesus as stated in Isaiah 9: 6.

“I am the Lord, I change not. The people may change, I change not. That is why I am eternal, cannot be changed; it is set. That is the Saviour; there is a Messiah. That’s why nothing shall fail. All that are mine will come and all that are mine I will take away.”

You believe in your heart that Jesus is the eternal One and you believe that Jesus is not just a prophet or just a man or just one personality walking around under God, if you believe that Jesus was and is, like the first Chapter of Revelation, who said He was, is and the One to come, the Almighty is what it says, and you believe that Jesus is eternal, you are the elect seed of God. You believe it in your heart and in your soul and those are faithful words, saith the Lord.

Keep this in your heart; you will never go wrong. He will bless your heart; He will prosper your hands; He will touch you; He will heal you; He will fill you.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 10, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “Igniting Faith”, CD # 1047, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 4/14/85 (AM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

When you witness, there is no more joy than witnessing to the people or telling somebody about God.

There is a great reward for the soul winner and there is a great reward to the intercessor.

Jesus said: Nothing shall be impossible to you, and the works I do shall you do.

Jesus is looking for living faith to do wonders. Your faith is dead without works or action.

Jesus is looking for live, living, active faith in power to do wonders and He is going to do some wonders and He is going to do some signs and going to do it to the people that are taught by the word of God how that they can receive this and how they can act their faith.

The Bible said in Genesis 18: 14, according to it, there is no prayer too hard for the Lord to answer.

There is no promise too hard for the Lord to fulfill, the Bible says.

Jeremiah 32: 17 and about the same Chapter 32, it said nothing is impossible with Him. He was talking about Jeremiah, said just create the heavens, the stars, moon, all these things and He said there is nothing impossible with Him, there is nothing too hard with Him.

Elisha followed Elijah right to the end. When he did, he not only saw him go away, he saw what he went away in; he saw the glory of the Lord, the angels and the Angel of the Lord.

Elisha will see Elijah again.

There is a light when you are converted and measures of power and anointing that is given to that individual.

Matthew 19: 26: “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 11: 28, 30: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Luke 4: 18: “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED”.

There is no problem too hard for the Lord to solve, in your family, in your neighbourhood, on your job, in your school, children, in your home, wherever it’s at, in your business, in your finances, it doesn’t make any difference.

There is nothing too hard for God to solve.

There is no problem, no mystery, no riddle, no puzzle, no anything too hard for Him to solve.

There is no place on this earth too hard for the Lord to move or revive.

Luke 1: 37: “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

Faith is dead without action, without believing, without intercession, without prayer; prayer must be behind everything that you do and intercession for the anointing of the Lord.

There is no willing heart too hard that the Lord cannot breakup and save.

Hebrews 7: 25: “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”

There is no sinner too hard, in the depths of sin, no heart too hard, but it says right here, that the Lord, He can break it up and bring that heart to be one of the best Christians that you will ever look upon.

By His hands of power, by the knowledge and wisdom in His cloud of glory, He will form that church, bring in the miracles like lightning in a cloud, a dynamo of faith and power, ignite your faith.

Jesus is looking for living faith, active powerful faith that is moving at all times in the heart, an energizing faith of power and then whatsoever you say shall come to pass; whatsoever you say, you shall have the desires of your heart.

Haggai 2: 9: “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Joel 2: 25: “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”

Ephesians 3: 20: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”

There is nothing too hard for the Lord.

I started the sermon:

Special Writing # 75:

GOD’S ETERNAL WORD

“In this correspondence let us check into the promises of God and see just what He has done for all of us!” – “First let’s establish one thing, the people on this earth do not realize just how great and powerful the Lord Jesus is! – It is beyond comprehension, but unto His elect He reveals much of His might and authority! – He is the omnipotent and infinite One! – There is no sickness, prayer or problem too hard for Him to handle! – He knows all things that you need even before you pray! . . . He knows each healing and miracle in advance that will be wrought upon His children! . . . Even those who come and go out from Him! . . . He foreknows it all!”

“God’s eternal Word never fails nor changes! – He says, He declares the end from the beginning! – And from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand and I will do ALL my pleasure!” – Ps. 119:89, 160, “For ever O Lord thy Word is settled in heaven. Thy Word is true from the beginning!” – “Now He reveals the authority that He will give unto those who are bold enough to speak the Word only unto Him!” – Isa. 45:11-12, “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning ‘the work of my hands command ye me’!” – “I have made the earth and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.” – “The Word stretched out proves we are living in an expanding Universe! . . . The Scientists say that it is being created and moving from us as the speed of light! – The Infinite is creating kingdoms without end!” – “When the Lord began to get Job’s mind off of his troubles, He began to reveal to him how great His creation was; and Job marveled at His wonders! – It was at this point that he quit seeing the dark side of his sickness, and began seeing the positive part of his blessings! – And he prayed for his friends and was healed!”

I continued with the sermon:

As a child of God, you have faith, otherwise, you would not have had the faith for true salvation, where the sting of death is gone.

Ephesians 2: 8: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”.

You started your walk with God because of faith.

You can continue your walk with God because of faith.

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 states: “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 the life that you now live in the flesh, you are living by the faith of the eternal God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who loved you and gave Himself for you.

He is a thinking God, otherwise, it will not state: “My counsel”.

It means the Lord God has already thought things through for eternity.

When you are God and there is none else, when you are God and there is none like you, you do not need the opinion of anybody else.

You can declare “the end from the beginning”. You can, from ancient times, declare “the things that are not yet done”.

You can declare your “counsel shall stand”. You can declare “I will do all my pleasure”.

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.”

Hebrews 11: 5: “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”

By the faith that Enoch had, he was translated by God, just like it will the Lord God Himself who will translate us. By his faith, he pleased God.

Hebrews 11: 6: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

For you to have the faith for translation, for you to please the Almighty God, you must believe who He is.

You must believe that the eternal God is the Lord Jesus as stated in Isaiah 9: 6.

You must believe John 1: 9 – 10 which states the world was made by the Lord Jesus: “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

You must believe Colossians 1: 15 – 17 which states the Lord Jesus created all things: “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 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.”

The devil knows that Lord Jesus is the eternal God and he trembles. James 2: 19: “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

1 John 5: 4: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

Our faith of who the Almighty God is overcomes the world. We can overcome all that is in this world; we can overcome all that the devil will bring.

Revelation 1: 8: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 1: 17 – 18: “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

From the Sermon titled “The Revelation In Jesus”, CD # 908, preached by Brother Neal Frisby, this is the definition of the elect seed of God:

Keep this in your heart; you will never go wrong. He will bless your heart; He will prosper your hands; He will touch you; He will heal you; He will fill you.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 26, 2022

This sermon talks about the fact that in the office as the Son, “unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given”, the Almighty God reminds us that He is just like us.

“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.”

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same”. He came to this earth and took on flesh and blood, just like us. This is Isaiah 9: 6: “The mighty God, The everlasting Father” being born as a child: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given”.

“Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren”.

ANGELS AND THE ELECT – “Men have often wondered when their bodies are glorified and changed how will they rank with the angels? – In the world to come, the righteous are equal to angels! (Luke 20: 36) – In some respects and ways the redeemed will excel angels; for the overcomers will be the ‘very bride’ of Christ! – A privilege which is not given to angels! There is no higher position for created beings than those in the Bride of Christ!” (Rev. 19: 7-9)

We were on earth, made a little lower than the angels, but believed in the Lord God Almighty who also became a little lower than the angels to die for our sins, whose name is Jesus, “whose name is Holy”: Whose name and very name is just holy, not corrupted with this world or any parts of any universe.

You will not find any creature with a higher position than us, no matter where you go throughout the entire universe, where there is no end to the kingdom of God.

2 Peter 1: 11: “For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” There is an entrance, and when you get into that entrance, into that door, it is an eternal ministering that will always be before the Lord. Isn’t that wonderful?”

An entrance shall be given unto us, abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our eternal God where we will have “an eternal ministering that will always be before the Lord”.

We will be the lead voice in praising the Lord, in ministering before Him, for eternity, because no other creature will be higher than us. We are His brethren, we are His friends, for eternity.

What a honour that we can worship the Lord from our heart while we are on earth and to know we will be able to worship before Him throughout eternity as the highest group in heaven. What an awe to be in His presence.

You will be blessed.

Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 26, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “The Formula”, CD # 1052, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 5/8/85 (PM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

When you go to church, what you want to do, is to come worship the Lord. That will be on your record book and He keeps a record and that will be on your book – how you loved Him, how you praised Him. And you say: “He is going to put that all down?” He already has it down; let’s see you fulfill it.

He knows from the beginning unto the end. He knows all things.

When you praise Him and you worship Him, each time you come to church and you love the Lord, that is something that is going to stand for you.

Remember, each time that you praise the Lord, you love the Lord, you worship the Lord, there is a record.

The Bible says: He that listens to the words of Christ is a wise man (Matthew 7: 24).

In the Bible, Jesus said I saw Satan fall like lightning (Luke 10: 18). Now, He saw him fall like a fiery light. Right from the beginning, the Lord is telling His people that Satan has already fallen. You have power now over him. Behold, I give you power over all of the power of any kind of enemy (Luke 10: 19).

Isaiah 26: 4: “Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength”.

Psalm 90: 2: “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”

All the sinners and everybody upon this earth with the breath of God, we are here to make a decision as we pass through this place.

Jeremiah 10: 10: “But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.”

Revelation 11: 15: “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER.”

1 Samuel 2: 6 – 8: “The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes , and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.”

Psalm 97: 9: “For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.”

The formula is to find out first how great He is with your salvation. When you get salvation, you know that He is great. But as you seek out the Lord in trueness in your heart, then He adds to that by His Holy Spirit. He gives you some of His mind for a moment, some of His power for a moment and your mind can penetrate the infinite nearly.

Realize His presence around you all the time. Realize how vast, how great, how infinite, where His Kingdom, there is no end. Man can never find end to His Kingdom.

Then when you begin to see how powerful and how great it is and all of His wonders, then you are establishing something, a foothold, a foundation. You are building on the Rock. “You are listening to Christ’s words, saith the Lord.” All power is given to me in heaven and earth. There is no other such power, but my power and I gave it up for a moment that I may save this earth and redeem it back to me.

Psalm 93: 1 – 2: “The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.”

He has been around where it never started. He was around before it ever got started.

Romans 14: 11: “For it is written, AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS TO GOD.”

Every tongue shall confess who God is.

Hosea 6: 1: “Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.”

Ephesians 5: 14: “Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT.”

Isaiah 57: 15: “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”

“whose name is Holy”: Whose name and very name is just holy, not corrupted with this world or any parts of any universe.

“to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones”: that is your revival. When the high and lofty One from eternity steps in more, entrance into, we have a ministering eternally with Him, when we enter that door.

Psalm 126: 5 – 6: “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”

Isaiah 28: 5 – 6: “In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.”

In all of your work, all of what you do, you shall come rejoicing.

In His formula, you have salvation to start and the power of the Holy Spirit based upon His word. Then you have praise in this formula, you have prayer in the formula for the anointing and prayer for miracles. You have patience, you have forgiving heart, you are determined and positive and your heart is set and will not change. Your believing in Him is eternal in your heart. This is the formula.

You have soul belief, reaching out of the physical and out of the flesh into what you cannot see, but you know He is there. There is faith, otherwise we could never call it faith and those who feel God has led them to fasting, that is in the formula too. And the forgiving and the giving – do not leave that out because that is part of the formula. God loves people that give unto Him.

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.”

That is a formula of success in itself, the fruit of the Spirit. “It will take you into eternity, saith the Lord.”

I started the sermon:

He knows from the beginning unto the end. He knows all things.

Remember, each time that you praise the Lord, you love the Lord, you worship the Lord, there is a record.

The Lord has a record, already written, of how you worshipped Him while you were on earth, how you loved Him, how you worked for Him, how you testified about His goodness and how you told the truth to others of who He is, the eternal God who came to die for our sins, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Realize His presence around you all the time. Realize how vast, how great, how infinite, where His Kingdom, there is no end. Man can never find end to His Kingdom.

All power is given to me in heaven and earth. There is no other such power, but my power and I gave it up for a moment that I may save this earth and redeem it back to me.

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.”

That is a formula of success in itself, the fruit of the Spirit. “It will take you into eternity, saith the Lord.”

Romans 14: 11: “For it is written, AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS TO GOD.”

Every tongue shall confess who God is.

It means every tongue will eventually come to confess that Jesus is God, “The mighty God”, “The everlasting Father”. Blessed is the person who now recognizes this fact.

“whose name is Holy”: Whose name and very name is just holy, not corrupted with this world or any parts of any universe.

Matthew 6: 9: “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.”

When the Lord Jesus, who is the Almighty God, the everlasting Father, tells us that His name is “Hallowed”, it means just that. It means the name “Jesus” is hallowed. His name is “Holy”. It is “not corrupted with this world or any parts of any universe.”

Hebrews 2: 5 – 17: “For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, WHAT IS MAN, THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM? OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT THOU VISITEST HIM? THOU MADEST HIM A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS; THOU CROWNEDST HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOUR, AND DIDST SET HIM OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS: THOU HAST PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 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. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Saying, I WILL DECLARE THY NAME UNTO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CHURCH WILL I SING PRAISE UNTO THEE. And again, I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM. And again, BEHOLD I AND THE CHILDREN WHICH GOD HATH GIVEN ME. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.”

In the office as the Son, “unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given”, the Almighty God reminds us that He is just like us.

He became a little lower than the Angels, just like He has created us a little lower than the Angels. He put on flesh and blood and died for our sins. He tasted death for every man.

“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.”

This is He, the eternal God, “for whom are all things, and by whom are all things”.

He is the Creator of all things, the Almighty God, and yet, He is “not ashamed to call” us “his brethren”.

He “WILL DECLARE THY NAME UNTO MY BRETHREN”. The eternal God has declared His name, Jesus, unto us who are His brethren.

We can also rest assured that the Almighty God has destroyed for us he “that had the power of death, that is, the devil”.

“Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren”.

What a honour that the Almighty God will call you and me His brethren.

We are joint-heirs with Him who is eternal.

Romans 8: 17: “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ”.

We will sit with Him on His throne for eternity.

Revelation 3: 21: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne”.

Psalm 91: 14: “Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.”

The Almighty God sets us on high because we have known His name. He will set us as the highest group in heaven throughout eternity, higher than the Angels.

I read from Scroll # 154:

I continued with the sermon:

We were on earth, made a little lower than the angels, but believed in the Lord God Almighty who also became a little lower than the Angels to die for our sins, whose name is Jesus, “whose name is Holy”: Whose name and very name is just holy, not corrupted with this world or any parts of any universe.

He paid the ultimate price for our sins, by giving His life for us, and now we are His friends for eternity.

You will not find any creature with a higher position than us, no matter where you go throughout the entire universe, where there is no end to the kingdom of God.

Revelation 21: 7: “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”

We can therefore see that the Lord will indeed set us on high, higher than any Angel or any other creature, for eternity because we have known His name, Jesus, that is “Hallowed.”

An entrance shall be given unto us, abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our eternal God where we will have “an eternal ministering that will always be before the Lord”. This reminds us of Isaiah 6: 1 – 4 and Revelation 4: 8 – 11.

We will be the lead voice in praising the Lord, in ministering before Him, for eternity, because no other creature will be higher than us. We are His brethren, we are His friends, for eternity.

Revelation 5: 11 – 14: “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”

It means we will also be there praising the Lord because it states every creature will be there: “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen.”

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 12, 2022

This sermon talks about the fact that the Lord Jesus came to reveal God’s name.

It means God had a name all along.

He came to reveal Isaiah 9: 6, The mighty God, this child to be born, The Prince of Peace, The Counsellor, The everlasting Father; that is the power.

This is the gospel, saith the Lord.

“I am Jesus, I have come to see my people and I came down to visit them.”

The name of the Almighty God had always been Jesus because: “It is the immortal, the eternal name that God chose to use for His people upon this earth.”

In that name, beyond anything that the devil can produce, the name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything in the underworld, no matter how many dimensions it is.

The name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything that we have in heaven, any dimension that we have there, because in that name is the power of life and death and He chose to let us know that name.

You are not going to get out of here unless you receive the full faith of God and the word of God, Amen. Or you will be waking up over there where it says: “Oh, let us run, let us go buy, let us get some of this oil, some of this power”, and the others were translated.

Your faith growing unconsciously in your heart “is like breathing, you don’t even know you are doing it, but you are believing God, Amen, and that is the way that He loves it” reminds us of 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.”

The Lord has already prepared a body for you that will change your physical body to a glorified body.

2 Corinthians 5: 1: “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

You have the certainty of being with the Almighty God for eternity because He will give you a body that is eternal, same as what He has. What a gracious God.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 12, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “God’s Mission”, CD # 1000B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 4/22/84 (PM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

As your faith begins to grow, from that mustard seed, then there is a time in your life, unconsciously like that faith is in your heart, and pretty soon, it is like breathing, you don’t even know you are doing it, but you are believing God, Amen, and that is the way that He loves it. That is the way it is going to be at the end of the age. You are able to believe for things and not even thinking; it is just coming through your heart.

You’ve got to get all that God has, to get out of here.

Why did Jesus appear to mankind? He came to save and redeem and to give eternal life.

He came to bring deliverance to the sick and the suffering and to teach us to heal all who are sick and need salvation.

He came to destroy the works of the devil and He did a real good job.

John 17: 6: “I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.”

John 5: 43: “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”

John 12: 28: “Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

He came to reveal God’s name.

He came to bring the name of the Lord.

John 5: 43, my Father’s name, the Lord Jesus Christ.

He came to reveal Isaiah 9: 6, The mighty God, this child to be born, The Prince of Peace, The Counsellor, The everlasting Father; that is the power.

This is the gospel, saith the Lord.

Not three Gods; one Holy Spirit manifesting in three different ways.

He came to glorify the Father’s name and He came to reveal the name of God. But it is a deeper mystery and revelation, but the Elect caught it.

Paul said if anybody else, or an Angel, come and preach any other gospel, let him be cursed.

There will be a curse on the systems of trinity, Armageddon.

This is the gospel; this is deliverance.

1 Timothy 3: 16: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

The power is in the Lord Jesus Christ.

His name was secret in the Old Testament.

Eternal light manifesting three different ways, but no three different personalities

Matthew 8: 16 – 17: “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES, AND BARE OUR SICKNESSES.”

Brother Frisby had a prayer and testimony line.

I started the sermon:

The life you now live in the flesh, 24 hours a day, is by the faith of the eternal God because you have true salvation. That is why you cannot miss the rapture.

It makes no difference what time of day or night the Lord comes because He will find you with His faith. Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”

That is the way it is going to be at the end of the age. You are able to believe for things and not even thinking; it is just coming through your heart.

He came to reveal God’s name.

He came to bring the name of the Lord.

It means God had a name all along.

He came to reveal Isaiah 9: 6, The mighty God, this child to be born, The Prince of Peace, The Counsellor, The everlasting Father; that is the power.

This is the gospel, saith the Lord.

It means when you preach or witness, you should let others know that it was the Almighty God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to die for our sins. There is no other God besides Him. “This is the gospel, saith the Lord.”

Angel Gabriel told Mary that she would conceive and bring forth a son, whose name is Jesus. Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that “The mighty God” would be coming as a son.

Luke 1: 26 – 31: “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.”

The Angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him that the child in Mary’s womb was of the Holy Ghost, God in the form of flesh, whose name is Jesus.

Matthew 1: 20 – 25: “But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND SHALL BRING FORTH A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”

His name was secret in the Old Testament.

Exodus 3: 13 – 14: “And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”

Moses asked God for His name, but He chose to keep quiet about it.

It shows the importance of our salvation that the Almighty God waited until He came in the flesh before He would tell us His name.

In the sermon: “The Name Jesus”, Brother Frisby said:

The magnificent name that was hidden in the Old Testament. He was asked “What is thy name?” He answered: “My name is secret. It will be revealed.”

“I am Jesus, I have come to see my people and I came down to visit them.”

“It is the immortal, the eternal name that God chose to use for His people upon this earth.”

The name of the Almighty God had always been Jesus because: “It is the immortal, the eternal name that God chose to use for His people upon this earth.”

In the name of the Lord Jesus, He has chosen to put all the power and weight in that name.

No one can get saved, no one can get healed, no one can do anything, unless it comes through the name of the Lord Jesus.

Others may go around it, they may try to sidestep it, but the magnificent name is the name that stands out alone.

But to those that reject that name, judgement and death follow in the wake of it.

In that name, beyond anything that the devil can produce, the name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything in the underworld, no matter how many dimensions it is.

Exodus 7: 10 – 12: “And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.”

Exodus 8: 6 – 7: “And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.”

When you get to a situation where magicians, etc. can bring forth what looks like serpents and frogs, you are reaching into the depths of the underworld. It makes no difference, you have no fear, because “the name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything in the underworld, no matter how many dimensions it is.”

The devils know that there is only one God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and they tremble.

James 2: 19: “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

The name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything that we have in heaven, any dimension that we have there, because in that name is the power of life and death and He chose to let us know that name.

The Almighty God chose to let us know His name, Jesus, and there is no one higher than Him in any dimension of heaven for all of eternity.

And some people will put it down, shove it aside and take something else, but it is the matchless name and that is the one that does the work, the name of the Lord Jesus.

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:

Your spirit was part of God before your physical body was created. “The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God!” “Our flesh body came upon earth by birth uniting with His spirit which was always with Him!”

It means, if your spirit was part of God before it united with your physical body upon the earth, you will believe that the Lord Jesus is the Almighty God throughout eternity.

Why did Jesus appear to mankind? He came to save and redeem and to give eternal life.

“And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!!”

We can keep this eternal spirit, when we repent (salvation), because the Almighty God Himself paid the price for it on the cross. It shows the eternal value of our salvation.

Isaiah 53: 5: “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.”

You will not make the translation unless you accept the full word of God. That is what differentiates those who will be changed into glory when the Lord comes and those who will find themselves in the great tribulation.

1 John 3: 2: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

We shall be changed, and be like the Almighty God who has existed for eternity, when He comes for us in the translation.

The Lord has already prepared a body for you that will change your physical body to a glorified body.

2 Corinthians 5: 1: “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

You have the certainty of being with the Almighty God for eternity because He will give you a body that is eternal, same as what He has. What a gracious God.

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 29, 2022

This sermon talks about the only true God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

You say: “How about God?” He is God. The word God is just simply something for us to talk about. The real thing is the Lord Jesus Christ. But He has to use that term in the Bible; that’s one term as “The God”.

The word “God” is a generic term. Different religions and churches will say that they are praying to God. However, the real eternal God that we must deal with is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 9: 6 identifies this real God: “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.”

Ecclesiastes 12: 7: “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

It means there is no one in the cemetery because your real personality, your spirit, has returned unto God who gave it.

If you were cremated, it means you are not in those ashes, because your real personality, your spirit, has returned unto God who gave it.

John 1: 9 – 10: “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

It means each person, since the time of Adam, is given a chance for salvation, whether through their conscience (Romans 2: 14 – 15) or hearing the gospel preached unto them (Ephesians 1: 13 – 14) because the Lord “lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”

We are now ambassadors for Christ to preach the gospel and let others know that the Lord is not imputing their trespasses unto them (2 Corinthians 5: 18 – 20). However, you must accept this offer of salvation; you must believe that the Lord Jesus took away your sins.

John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

You can believe what you read in the Bible because you have the eye of faith, you live by the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 2: 20).

You can believe eternal things because you have eternal life.

What a blessedness to know you now have eternal life and you will be living in eternity with the Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ. He is coming soon for us.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 29, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “The Eye of Faith”, CD # 984A, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 3/27/83 (PM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

The eye of faith: You can visualize in your mind, funnel it into your heart and you have the manifestation of the power of God on your hand.

Hebrews 11: 1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It is really real.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, but it is the evidence of things not seen; you visualize it in your mind. Allow it to become in your heart and you begin to believe.

As you begin to believe the Lord in your heart, things become a reality.

That means that you are believing in something that is real, and it will produce your faith, that is what cause the eye of faith, reaching in and seeing the unseen.

Your faith will begin to grow. It will remind you of the greatness of the Lord and it reminds you of the power of the Lord. Faith is the evidence of things not seen.

If you believe the Bible, the descriptions in the Bible will cause your faith to grow.

Everything is like a photograph in that Bible. Every depiction is so real and so anointed by the power of God that is absolutely like a photograph, like a photographic mind.

If you catch it in the mind’s eyes, believe it in the heart, you are healed and that is the way He heals you.

He spoke by the power walking on the water and the storm ceased. He just muzzled it, in the Greek, He just muzzle it up, blowed it away, glory to God, go somewhere else; wherever He wanted to. And they said, “What manner of man is this?” God/man; He had control over the elements; He had power over the sea, power over the boat, power over the disciples, power over all things. He is the great One; none is greater than Him.

It is the vision of faith that reaches the heart; the eye of faith that begins to move.

One time I was praying. I said: “Lord, what is unbelief besides sin?” He said: “Death”. Riding on the pale horse, Revelation 6. All of the unbelief going to Armageddon, to doom.

Faith is life and faith is wonderful.

Faith is powerful; Isn’t it? It will just cause a fire in your body, to light up by the Holy Spirit, driving out the pestilence and the diseases and the plague, whatsoever’s got hold of you. All diseases are healed by the power of God.

These signs shall follow them that believe.

The eye of faith; the evidence of things not seen in your heart.

Anytime you are reading the Bible, try to in your heart, whether in the New Testament, when Jesus is healing the sick, He will help you and the Holy Spirit will help you and your faith. You might want Him to heal you or do something for you, and begin to visualize that, and He will help you; begin to get your mind in there.

That is another form of faith. And you can believe and He will bless your heart.

The eye of faith; the evidence of things not seen. You have them, in the eye, in the mind, bring it into the heart and hold with it.

Visualize the miracles of the Lord in your heart:

Feeding the multitude (Matthew 14: 13 – 21)

The Legion coming to the Lord Jesus (Mark 5: 1 – 20)

The Lord saw the faith of those who brought the person who was sick of the palsy through the roof (Mark 2: 1 – 12)

The woman at the well (John 4: 4 – 42)

We also have in the Bible:

John saw the Lord sitting on the throne (Revelation 4: 1 – 6)

Daniel saw the Lord’s hair as wool (Daniel 7: 9)

The pillar of fire at night (Exodus 13: 21)

The burning bush (Exodus 3: 1 – 6)

I started the sermon:

The word “God” is a generic term. Different religions and churches will say that they are praying to God. However, the real eternal God that we must deal with is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 90: 1 – 4: “LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.”

This Scripture is referring to a specific person. It states: “from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God”. It means there was never a time that this person was not God.

Psalm 102: 25 – 27: “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.”

This Scripture is also referring to a specific person. It states: “thou” hast laid the foundation of the earth; “thou shalt endure”; “thou” shalt change the earth and the heavens; “thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.”

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.”

It means the real God is a just God, a Saviour and there is no other God besides Him.

The real God is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is “The mighty God”. There is no other God besides Him.

Ecclesiastes 12: 7: “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

When someone passes on, the body, the dust returns to the earth, but the spirit returns unto God who gave it.

It means there is no one in the cemetery because your real personality, your spirit, has returned unto God who gave it.

If you were cremated, it means you are not in those ashes, because your real personality, your spirit, has returned unto God who gave it.

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.”

Both the rich man and Lazarus died, but neither of them was in the grave.

The rich man was told: “remember that thou in thy lifetime”, thereby separating the time he was alive on earth from the time that he is now deceased.

For each person that is deceased, you are either now in hell, waiting for God’s final judgement, if you did not come to know the true God for salvation (Revelation 20: 11 – 15) or you are now in the third heaven, waiting for our final home in the holy city, if you came to know the true God for salvation (2 Corinthians 12: 1 – 4).

John 1: 9 – 10: “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

It means the Lord Jesus has tasted “death for every man.” There is no one that the Lord Jesus did not die for his or her sins.

1 Peter 4: 6: “For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.”

The Lord Jesus was talking to the woman at the well, and this is what He told her in John 4: 10: “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”

The gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal God, who paid the price for our sins.

Romans 6: 23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Mark 8: 36 – 37: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

What shall it profit anyone if he or she does not accept the offer of salvation.

Acts 4: 12: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

2 Corinthians 5: 18 – 20: “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”

Psalm 103: 3: “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases”.

We can witness to anyone to let him or her know that the Lord Jesus has forgiven all of us of our sins, He is not imputing our trespasses unto us, because He has already tasted death for every man. We are ambassadors for Christ. However, you must accept this offer of salvation; you must believe that the Lord Jesus took away your sins.

John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

Faith goes beyond time.

Your salvation requires faith.

Ephesians 2: 8: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”.

You can believe what you read in the Bible because you have the eye of faith, you live by the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal God, who is the Word of God.

You can believe eternal things because you have eternal life. You will believe what you read about the holy city, our eternal home in heaven.

Revelation 21: 1 – 3: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”

I read from Scroll # 244:

Hereafter, we will see not only the Holy City, but we will see other beautiful cities and places of such wonder of God’s creation. We will see trillions of God’s other creations.

What a blessedness to know you now have eternal life and you will be living in eternity with the Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ. He is coming soon for us.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 8, 2022

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 8, 2022

This sermon talks about the true revelation of the Lord Jesus.

Some people believe it this way: There is one God in three persons. That is paganism. Do you realize that? That is the antichrist mark; that is the way it’s going to come too.

It means, if you believe that there is a God the Father, who sent a separate God the Son and there is a separate God the Holy Spirit, what you have is paganism. It means you are no different from an idol worshipper. It is the antichrist mark. That is why churches will merge and various religions will merge because they will say among themselves that there is really no difference among them.

Here is the way it is: It’s one God in three manifestations. It is not one God in three persons. That’s false doctrine. It is one God in three manifestations. There is a total difference in that.

Isaiah 9: 6 is very clear that Jesus is “The mighty God”. If He is “The mighty God”, then there can be no other God besides Him.

And Philip said, “Lord, where is the Father?” And Philip was standing right there. He said, “You’ve both seen Him and talked with Him”. Glory to God; anybody going to deny that? It is wonderful. This is what weeds out those people with split personality of the spirit, make believers.

It means if you do not know who Jesus truly is, that He is “The mighty God”, this revelation will weed you out.

This is the definition of the elect seed of God: You believe in your heart that Jesus is the eternal One and you believe that Jesus is not just a prophet or just a man or just one personality walking around under God, if you believe that Jesus was and is, like the first Chapter of Revelation, who said He was, is and the One to come, the Almighty is what it says, and you believe that Jesus is eternal, you are the elect seed of God. You believe it in your heart and in your soul and those are faithful words, saith the Lord.

Keep this in your heart; you will never go wrong. He will bless your heart; He will prosper your hands; He will touch you; He will heal you; He will fill you.

All roads lead to the Lord Jesus.

The tribulation saints that are driven in the midst of great tribulation across the earth, they begin to understand who Jesus is. The tribulation saints begin to learn what many of you have known for years; see, you are the first fruit. The people that ripen first under the power of God and the word of God. They were known as the first fruits; the bride elect of God. Therefore, He come on early for them.

The tribulation saints did not understand that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Almighty God and that is why they missed the translation. They will eventually come to this realization during the great tribulation.

That is the way revival will come. It’s the revelation of who Jesus is.

At the end of the age, like Elijah and like Enoch, the saints of God are going to feel the same positive power and the same kind of surging in their soul and the same anointing that they begin to feel when those two men were carried away. It was showing us what will happen to the elect of God at the end of the age and it is coming and it can only come by the revelation of who the Lord Jesus is to His people.

What a wonderful feeling we will have just before the translation. What a joy we will have in our soul, with translative faith, knowing we will soon be meeting our eternal God, the Lord Jesus Christ, in the air, and so shall we ever be with Him.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 8, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “The Revelation In Jesus”, CD # 908, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 8/18/82 (PM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

More knowledge of who Jesus really is will create and bring apostolic restoration and revival.

We’ve had revival, but restoration is coming, that means the restoring of all things. “I am the Lord, I shall restore”.

It will bring great outpouring by this revelation and power. It is the only way real, true, revival will come.

The children of the Lord, they begin to confess and they begin to repent of their shortcomings in their prayer life and possibly in their giving, in their praising the Lord and in their thanksgiving to God. When all of this gets together in their heart and they begin to get stirred, then we are in a revival and a restoration that is coming.

He will move on the open heart and through that stirring, like the power of the Lord begins to move, then revival will begin to come. Then you begin to see more people coming, more people really, truly, coming to God for salvation, not cry a little bit, gone and forget God, but it will be in the heart where it is involving the soul, not the head. This is revival.

The real genuine move will appear from understanding these Scriptures and who Jesus really is; now that is your revival.

From understanding these Scriptures who Jesus really is and then when they do, then they receive bold, translative power; bold, translative faith. It cannot come any other way.

John 1: 4: “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

John 1: 9 – 10: “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

The very One that created them come back and looked at them. What did they do? They rejected Him. But those that received Him, with the knowledge of who He was, including the Apostles, great revival broke out in every direction.

I Timothy 2: 5 – 6: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” On this order, He is God/man. He is the only One that can step in there with His name.

Colossians 1: 14 – 15: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature”.

John 14: 7 – 9: “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”

Keep this in your heart; you will never go wrong. He will bless your heart; He will prosper your hands; He will touch you; He will heal you; He will fill you.

I Timothy 3: 16: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

Colossians 2: 9: “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

All roads lead to the Lord Jesus.

Some people believe it this way: There is one God in three persons. That is paganism. Do you realize that? That is the antichrist mark; that is the way it’s going to come too.

Here is the way it is: It’s one God in three manifestations. It is not one God in three persons. That’s false doctrine. It is one God in three manifestations. There is a total difference in that.

That little baby; it’s ancient, ancient, ancient, until it goes back into infinite. Isn’t this wonderful.

The elect of God, they do not believe in three gods at all, no matter how you bring it to them in the form of one God and holler three gods, they still will not believe it.

This is going to bring the revival; it won’t be the other way.

It will come by the Holy Spirit and by His power. It will come by the revelation of who Jesus is and by the revelation of the Holy Spirit and that is the way the revival will come. And when it comes, you are going to be able to see that glory. And it will come in such whirlwind of power that you are getting to feel like Elijah got to feeling before he went in that fiery chariot. We are going to get the same feelings. We feel the same power.

The elect of God are going to carry it all the way into thunder and they are going to take it right on into heaven with them. It is going to be swept right out of this world.

That is the way revival will come. It’s the revelation of who Jesus is.

One Holy Light and that one Holy Spirit; the Ancient, where no man can attempt to go in there because, the Bible said, no one can approach Him in His eternal light unless He changes you or He changes Himself to meet you through the Lord Jesus Christ.

One Holy Spirit manifesting three different ways, Father, Son, Holy Spirit and revelate in seven different ways.

We cannot have eternal life unless He is eternal.

Knowing the revelation of who He is, is going to bring that great revival.

Casting out devils: no revival can come until He releases that power to cast those devils out. You have to have the anointing come to deliver those people, and casting out the devil, it will automatically bring revival when you cast him out of the way.

Matthew 12: 28: “But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.”

Jesus had that. Those spirits began to bow; those spirits, by the great authority in Him began to see what was happening; they began to flee the people. The power of the Lord began to strike; revival began to come.

You can have no revival unless you have the supernatural power of the Spirit to break the power of the devil, and that power is casting out the devil. That is your revival.

There will be opposition and persecution just before the end of the age, no matter how much He is moving. He will give grace to carry it through.

Jesus came to set men free and that is what we are here for. And through the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, men will be set free.

John 8: 36: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

John 21: 25: “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”

John knew He was the Ancient One and while He was yet upon this earth, He was creating and doing marvelous things in the universe.

John 3: 12 – 13: “If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”

Probably towards the end of the age, you might almost speak that again that the books cannot contain what He is going to do among the people of God. The anointing and the presence that He has will be upon His people.

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 by the revelation of who the Lord Jesus is where the great revival is coming from.

Translative faith can come by no other way but by the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the revelation of His name will produce the gifts of power, it will produce the fruits of the Spirit, it will produce the anointing of the Spirit and there will be great signs and wonders follow that name. It is going to be exploits among His people.

I started the sermon:

Some people believe it this way: There is one God in three persons. That is paganism. Do you realize that? That is the antichrist mark; that is the way it’s going to come too.

Here is the way it is: It’s one God in three manifestations. It is not one God in three persons. That’s false doctrine. It is one God in three manifestations. There is a total difference in that.

Isaiah 9: 6 is very clear that Jesus is “The mighty God”. If He is “The mighty God”, then there can be no other God besides Him.

It means the Lord Jesus, “The mighty God”, is manifested in three offices – He is the Father (“The everlasting Father”), He is the Son and He is the Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit in flesh).

John 1: 10: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him”.

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.”

It means if you do not know who Jesus truly is, that He is “The mighty God”, this revelation will weed you out.

That little baby; it’s ancient, ancient, ancient, until it goes back into infinite. Isn’t this wonderful.

This was the Lord Jesus, the Almighty God, in human form. He is eternal; He is infinite.

I read from Scroll # 17:

BEHOLD SAITH THE ALMIGHTY – read Rev. 5: 6 – “Ye cannot number me as a man knoweth numbers in the material world, but in the spiritual world, I am infinite without number. And the 7 revelations of me are my word. In the beginning I was that word and dwelt among men (in Jesus) Behold at first my own disciples did not understand this, but Paul my Beloved servant declared it, when he said – For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visable and invisable, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities or powers: All things were created by Him and for Him. Read. Col. 1 : 13 – 17 – “I am God in the heavens! I am God in the Son! I am God in the Holy Ghost! I am one in three fold manifestation. And if any man saith unto thee this prophecy is false, then he understandeth not the things of God, among the living. And I will appoint his portion among the hypocrites, and his days shall quickly be forgotten. I am Alpha! and Omega! The first! and the last! I am the Lord there is no other God besides me. I am hidden in Jesus, revealed to my Elect, whom I foreknew from the beginning! Who I will give power to foresee me (as I am) in my Glory – (body) Even the mystery which had been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to my saints. AMEN!

I continued with the Sermon:

Keep this in your heart; you will never go wrong. He will bless your heart; He will prosper your hands; He will touch you; He will heal you; He will fill you.

All roads lead to the Lord Jesus.

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?”

The Lord Jesus is stating that those who truly believe in Him will have translative faith and that is why He can change their bodies to the glorified form when He comes back. However, Translative faith can come by no other way but by the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It means you will not be able to preach the true gospel, you will not be able to preach the word of truth that produces translative faith, unless it is based on the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Almighty God.

You cannot approach the eternal fire that the Almighty God dwells in. That is why He changed Himself and came to us as the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 6: 16: “Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.”

Jesus came to set men free and that is what we are here for. And through the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, men will be set free.

But by the revelation of who the Lord Jesus is where the great revival is coming from.

That is the way revival will come. It’s the revelation of who Jesus is.

You can have no revival unless you have the supernatural power of the Spirit to break the power of the devil, and that power is casting out the devil. That is your revival.

There will be opposition and persecution just before the end of the age, no matter how much He is moving. He will give grace to carry it through.

In this great revival, we will have power to cast out devils. We will have the gifts and the fruits of the Spirit operating among us.

John knew He was the Ancient One and while He was yet upon this earth, He was creating and doing marvelous things in the universe.

The elect of God are going to carry it all the way into thunder and they are going to take it right on into heaven with them. It is going to be swept right out of this world.

In this great revival, we will see the shekinah glory of God. We are going to have the same type of feeling that Elijah and Enoch had just before they were taken to heaven and it will come because we have the revelation of who the Lord Jesus is.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, April 17, 2022

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, April 17, 2022

This sermon talks about the original fire, which is the word of God.

Without that pure word, without that word dropping into their hearts, you are not going to have what it takes to get out of here, you are not going to have what it takes to come out of that grave.

That original fire broke out and the whole universe was created and all the things that God ever created, the angels and everything, that original fire as He spoke, the original fire talks and the original fire is the word that came down into flesh and He was glorified.

At the end of the age, that word has to come that way or no one is going to be translated, none will come out of that grave, that word has to come that way.

So, the original fire is the word of God and the original fire that created the universe stood right there in Jesus, standing right there.

“I was before Abraham and talked to him; he rejoiced to see my day. I stood at the tent.”

“I was standing in Theophany when I talked to Abraham”, meaning, God came down in the form of flesh and talked to Abraham.

The original fire that spoke everything into existence is in that word that is planted in your heart. And if you hear His word before, when He sounds and says come forth, you know the word, it is in tune with you and that original word planted in you is going to fire and when it does, and when it fires, that body is going to be glorified and we which remain and are alive, that same fire is going to glorify our body like that.

The same thing that created every one of you is the very thing that is going to be inside you in the form of the word and when He speaks that word, it is going to change to glorified fire.

If you have heard that original word when you were alive, when the Lord calls to come forth at the time of translation, you know that word; you know the secret of that word; you know the sound thereof; it is in tune with your soul. You will come forth from the grave, and if you are alive at that moment, you will also be glorified. This mortal shall put on immortality.

You want to thank the Lord that you are on a good path, having had the opportunity to hear and to believe the pure word of God which is the original fire. It this eternal word that will cause us to be glorified and to meet the Lord in the air.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, April 17, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “The Original Fire”, CD # 1205, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 4/17/88 (AM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

The original fire was the word.

The original creative fires that we see in the heaven was the word that came among mankind and dwelt in flesh.

Are the systems uniting against His pure word? They have part of the word, but they are uniting against those that got the full armor. They don’t want all the word.

The word is the original fire.

The original word has fire in it.

Without that pure word, without that word dropping into their hearts, you are not going to have what it takes to get out of here, you are not going to have what it takes to come out of that grave.

The original fire is the word.

No man can approach the original fire, Paul said, that is really the eternal fire, but he can approach it through the word.

The Jews could not believe because they received honor one from another and seeketh not the honor that cometh from God.

The Jews saw, but believed not, but I say unto you that ye also have seen me, looked upon me and have seen the works that I have done and ye believe not; looking right at Him.

John 6: 36: “But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.”

They will turn their ears finally from the truth.

The Jews would not believe the truth.

John 8: 45: “And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.”

Israel, the real Jew, that is the one Christ is coming back at the end of the age and He will save; He will bring them back together.

All the systems today, outside of true believers, they have been trained so much in tradition, so much against the true power of God, they claim God, a form of God, but they deny the true Spirit, the original fire which is the real word of God.

The original fire is the true word.

The pillar of fire in flesh.

The Jews would not hear; therefore they could not understand.

Jesus said why can’t you understand my speech, because, He said, you cannot hear. They did not want to open their spiritual ears.

At the end of the age, that word has to come that way or no one is going to be translated, none will come out of that grave, that word has to come that way.

After it finishes its course up, as God preaches that word, then it is going to ignite and whoever listens to that or was around that and believes it in their heart, they are going to be gone, they are coming out of that grave. God is going to do it.

Christ’s words to judge at the last day.

The Jews, they rejected the prophecies of the Scriptures.

The Jews had not God’s words abiding in them.

If you do not, in today that we live in, if you do not preach the word of God for exactly what it is, and preach the word of God, and the pure word of God, all you’ve got going is a money program.

Unbelief in Moses resulted in unbelief in Christ.

John 5: 46 – 47: “For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”

“I was before Abraham and talked to him; he rejoiced to see my day. I stood at the tent.”

“I was standing in Theophany when I talked to Abraham”, meaning, God came down in the form of flesh and talked to Abraham.

The Jews had not the love of God in them.

Those who are not God’s sheep believe not.

My sheep hear my voice and they know me.

I came in my Father’s name, the Lord Jesus Christ, and you receive it not, another will come in his name, the Antichrist, and you will receive him.

The Jews refused and they died in their sins; the spiritual dead bury the physical dead. Follow me and let the dead bury the dead, Jesus said.

The believer will pass from the spiritual dead unto spiritual life. The spiritual dead who hear the voice of Christ shall live; those that know the word of the Lord.

He that eateth of the bread from heaven shall not die, that is, the words of God; the bread from heaven is the words of God.

Let these words sink into your heart.

What is the difference between the Jews, or those Pharisees or the Gentiles today who will not listen to the word of God? They don’t have the original fire which is the word in them and they will not rise and they will not translate because they did not allow that word to sink in their heart. You can’t get there through any other way. It’s got to come down and sink there by faith in God.

He that keeps Christ’s sayings shall never die, spiritually speaking. Believers in Christ shall never die.

Belief in the Scriptures is the only hope to escape hades or hell.

Jesus said I have the keys to death and hell; I live for evermore.

Revelation 1: 18: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

You should never die; why, that word is planted .

The same thing that created every one of you is the very thing that is going to be inside you in the form of the word and when He speaks that word, it is going to change to glorified fire.

The secret is keep the word of God in your heart at all times and listen to it.

The same thing today, those that are not of His sheep, you can’t do anything about it out there. They just turn their ear from the truth.

But there will be many that will begin to hear more. As the Holy Spirit blows across that earth, that original fire blowing in there, He will bring in His final people at the end of the age from the highways and the hedges and from everywhere. There will be a great outpouring.

It will probably affect the church. It will be a short one and a powerful one. It will affect some of the historical churches, but mostly will come to those that have the word in their heart from the former rain they are going now into the latter part of the power of God. And it will be a quick short work.

And the graves, those that are going with us, will be resurrected out of there; we’ll join them in the air and we will meet Him.

That is the original word, it’s the fire, the original creative power.

That original fire is not like the fire that you can set a match to. It is not like the atomic bomb. It is not like the hottest temperature on this earth.

It is the living thing that creates all things that will ever come and is spoken in the word.

So, the original fire is the word of God and the original fire that created the universe stood right there in Jesus, standing right there.

So, that word sinking into your heart is going to translate you or you coming out of that grave.

I started the sermon:

The original fire is the word.

The word is the original fire.

No man can approach the original fire, Paul said, that is really the eternal fire, but he can approach it through the word.

1 Timothy 6: 15 – 16: “Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.”

When the Lord God is in that original fire form, no one can approach Him. He will have to appear in a lesser form for us and the Angels to see Him. He came in flesh as the Lord Jesus for us to see Him.

The pillar of fire in flesh.

The original fire is the true word.

It means, no matter what galaxy you go to, the anointing you will find there, the feeling of that place, will be the anointing from that original fire, the Lord God Almighty, who created everything. That anointing will be in tune with you. It is the same feeling we will receive in the holy city, the new Jerusalem, where there will be no need for a temple where our Lord Jesus is the light thereof.

Revelation 21: 22 – 23: “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”

The original fire, the Creator of heaven and earth, came down in the form of flesh and dwelt among us.

John 1: 10: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

We read about the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ since this particular church service is being held on Easter Sunday (April 17, 2022).

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.”

When the Lord was crucified, they did not let Him die peacefully. They beat Him up before He was crucified.

Mark: 15: 15 – 20: “And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head. And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.”

John 19: 1 – 3: “Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.”

John 19: 32 – 37: “Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A BONE OF HIM SHALL NOT BE BROKEN. And again another scripture saith, THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED.”

They put a crown of thorns on His head. They whipped Him, struck Him on the head, spit upon Him, smote Him with their hands, pierced Him and mocked Him. Indeed, He “was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities”.

Our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day.

Mark 16: 1 – 6: “And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.”

The Lord Jesus tasted death for every man, forgave everyone, including those who beat Him up before He was crucified, that He might offer salvation, eternal life, to everyone.

So, the original fire is the word of God and the original fire that created the universe stood right there in Jesus, standing right there.

The original fire, The mighty God, took on the form of flesh and was born as a child; the Lord Jesus Christ. He was the image, the flesh form, of the invisible God. He is the Creator of heaven and earth.

When the Lord forgives you of your sins, it is as if you never committed them. He remembers them no more. You are pure before Him.

Psalm 103: 3: “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases”.

Colossians 1: 14 – 17: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 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.”

We now have redemption through the blood of the Lord Jesus; we now have the forgiveness of our sins.

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!

I continued with the Sermon:

It means we will become the Lord’s Bride; it means He will give us His kingdom to rule with Him; it means the reason the Lord will be coming soon is to take us to His palace.

Revelation 3: 21: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne”.

Without that pure word, without that word dropping into their hearts, you are not going to have what it takes to get out of here, you are not going to have what it takes to come out of that grave.

Without you having this pure word, this original fire, which is the word of God, in your heart, you will not come out of the grave, you will not be translated.

And it will be a quick short work.

At this end of time, there will be more people who will want to hear that the eternal God was the same person that came to die for our sins on the cross. We have eternal life because He is eternal life. This is the pure word, this is the gospel, it has the original fire in it.

Romans 9: 28: “FOR HE WILL FINISH THE WORK, AND CUT IT SHORT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: BECAUSE A SHORT WORK WILL THE LORD MAKE UPON THE EARTH.”

At the end of the age, that word has to come that way or no one is going to be translated, none will come out of that grave, that word has to come that way.

So, that word sinking into your heart is going to translate you or you coming out of that grave.

The Lord has set up no other option but for His pure word of God to be preached at this end of the age. It is this truth that saves us; it is this truth that will cause the translation

The same eternal God that stood in flesh before Abraham in the Old Testament was the same eternal God that talked to the Jews in the New Testament.

He stated: “I was before Abraham and talked to him; he rejoiced to see my day. I stood at the tent.”

“I was standing in Theophany when I talked to Abraham”, meaning God came down in the form of flesh and talked to Abraham.

Genesis Chapter 18:

Verse 1: “And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day”.

Verse 10: “And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.”

Verses 13 and 14: “And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

The original word has fire in it.

1 Corinthians 15: 51 – 52: “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

The same thing that created every one of you is the very thing that is going to be inside you in the form of the word and when He speaks that word, it is going to change to glorified fire.

The secret is keep the word of God in your heart at all times and listen to it.

You want to thank the Lord that you are on a good path, having had the opportunity to hear and to believe the pure word of God which is the original fire. It this pure word of God that will cause us to be glorified.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, March 20, 2022

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, March 20, 2022

This sermon talks about “The Name Jesus”.

It is the immortal, the eternal name that God chose to use for His people upon this earth.

The magnificent name that was hidden in the Old Testament. He was asked “What is thy name?” He answered: “My name is secret. It will be revealed.”

“I am Jesus, I have come to see my people and I came down to visit them.”

In the name of the Lord Jesus, He has chosen to put all the power and weight in that name.

Others may go around it, they may try to sidestep it, but the magnificent name is the name that stands out alone.

The name Jesus is beyond any kind of magic, witchcraft, or sorcery.

In that name, beyond anything that the devil can produce, the name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything in the underworld, no matter how many dimensions it is.

The name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything that we have in heaven, any dimension that we have there, because in that name is the power of life and death and He chose to let us know that name.

In it is life, death, and paradise.

But to those that reject that name, judgement and death follow in the wake of it.

Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do it. Ask anything, in my will, and I will do it.

And some people will put it down, shove it aside and take something else, but it is the matchless name and that is the one that does the work, the name of the Lord Jesus.

He bore our pains and our diseases, our weaknesses and all the oppression. He carried it with Him in that name, all of it was placed on that name and when He went to the cross, it was finished for us.

Remember, no demon will come out, no disease will be healed, no one will be saved, there will be no eternal life and no baptism, be no gifts, no fruits of the Spirit, there will be no joy, no happiness, no divine love, unless it comes, and the rest of them, in the matchless name, the Lord Jesus.

It is the great and powerful name, the great name of the Lord Jesus, that is going to cause the translation. The name of the Lord Jesus is going to cause all the graves to open up and then meet us in the air as we are translated away.

“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.”

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, March 20, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “The Name Jesus”, CD # 1399, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 9/15/91 (PM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

In that name is life and death.

Without that name, this universe consists of that name and power, the Lord Jesus Christ.

All things created, they consist in that name.

The name Jesus is beyond any kind of magic, witchcraft, or sorcery.

In it is life, death, and paradise.

Miracles, signs, and wonders occur in the name of the Lord Jesus.

The dead were raised in the name of the Lord Jesus, for His word was with power.

The magnificent name that was hidden in the Old Testament. He was asked “What is thy name?” He answered: “My name is secret. It will be revealed.”

“I am Jesus, I have come to see my people and I came down to visit them.”

John 1: 14 states God was made flesh and dwelt among us.

In the name of the Lord Jesus, He has chosen to put all the power and weight in that name.

No one can get saved, no one can get healed, no one can do anything, unless it comes through the name of the Lord Jesus.

Others may go around it, they may try to sidestep it, but the magnificent name is the name that stands out alone.

It is the immortal, the eternal name that God chose to use for His people upon this earth.

But to those that reject that name, judgement and death follow in the wake of it.

Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do it. Ask anything, in my will, and I will do it.

Ask in my name that your joy may be full.

Ask in my name for miracles.

Ask in my name and I will revelate to you.

In that name, beyond anything that the devil can produce, the name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything in the underworld, no matter how many dimensions it is.

The name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything that we have in heaven, any dimension that we have there, because in that name is the power of life and death and He chose to let us know that name.

It was a secret name in the Old Testament and He gave it to His people.

And some people will put it down, shove it aside and take something else, but it is the matchless name and that is the one that does the work, the name of the Lord Jesus.

No kind of magic can touch it; it is beyond it.

In the Bible, it said if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus redeemed us from the curse of sickness.

He made us free from sin and sickness.

He healeth all thy diseases.

The Lord shall raise him up.

He has done anything that you ever want to believe for. It has been done for you.

Now, with your measure of faith, you must accept it strongly in your heart and soul and the light of God is manifested in great power.

So, in the name of Jesus, it is all wrapped up into one there for you if you want to believe.

And only by that power can all these things, translation, change; the glorified body comes in that name as you are changed to be with Him forever.

I started the sermon:

It is the immortal, the eternal name that God chose to use for His people upon this earth.

The name “Jesus” is the name of God from eternity and it will be His name for eternity, as it is “the immortal, the eternal name that God chose to use for His people upon this earth.”

The magnificent name that was hidden in the Old Testament. He was asked “What is thy name?” He answered: “My name is secret. It will be revealed.”

“I am Jesus, I have come to see my people and I came down to visit them.”

In the name of the Lord Jesus, He has chosen to put all the power and weight in that name.

It was a secret name in the Old Testament and He gave it to His people.

John 1: 10 – 13: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

The Lord gives the power “to become the sons of God” to those who receive Him, “even to them that believe on his name”.

Jesus is “The mighty God”; He is “The everlasting Father”.

The Lord told Philip that He is the Father. Isaiah 9: 6 calls Him “The everlasting Father”.

Luke 1: 30 – 31: “And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.”

It was the Holy Spirit that came upon Mary. He became flesh inside her womb and was born, “and shalt call his name JESUS”.

Thus, the Lord Jesus was the Holy Spirit in flesh.

The Lord Jesus is the Father (“The everlasting Father”), He is the Son (unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given) and He is the Holy Spirit.

The whole Bible is based on this one individual, the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is no other God besides Him since He is “The” mighty God.

His name is Holy.

Isaiah 57: 15: “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy”.

His name is The Word of God.

Revelation 19: 13: “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”

Others may go around it, they may try to sidestep it, but the magnificent name is the name that stands out alone.

It takes the Lord Jesus to reveal to you that He is also the Father for you to understand the revelation.

Luke 10: 22: “All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.”

The Lord Jesus could transfigure before the disciples because He is the eternal God, the Holy Spirit.

Mark 9: 2 – 4: “And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.”

The name Jesus is beyond any kind of magic, witchcraft, or sorcery.

No kind of magic can touch it; it is beyond it.

James 2: 19: “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

With the eternal name of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, with you, you will have no fear of any magic, witchcraft, or sorcery. The devils tremble because of His name.

In that name, beyond anything that the devil can produce, the name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything in the underworld, no matter how many dimensions it is.

Without that name, this universe consists of that name and power, the Lord Jesus Christ.

All things created, they consist in that name.

The name of the Lord Jesus is beyond anything that we have in heaven, any dimension that we have there, because in that name is the power of life and death and He chose to let us know that name.

This is the only name by which you can have salvation.

Acts 4: 12: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

In that name is life and death.

In it is life, death, and paradise.

But to those that reject that name, judgement and death follow in the wake of it.

The rich man and Lazarus went about their daily lives – one was rich and the other one was a beggar.

After they died, the rich man found himself “in hell”. The Scripture states: “And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments”.

He had no choice but to find himself “in hell”. He missed the opportunity of salvation while he was alive.

He wanted someone to go and preach the word of God to his five brothers “lest they also come into this place of torment”.

Ecclesiastes 12: 7: “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

The spirit that is in each one of us came from God and will return to Him. He is able to put someone in hell, and in the lake of fire, who did not come to salvation.

These Jews could not accept the fact that the individual that they were looking at was the eternal God.

Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do it. Ask anything, in my will, and I will do it.

And some people will put it down, shove it aside and take something else, but it is the matchless name and that is the one that does the work, the name of the Lord Jesus.

Acts 3: 16: “And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”

He has done anything that you ever want to believe for. It has been done for you.

No one can get saved, no one can get healed, no one can do anything, unless it comes through the name of the Lord Jesus.

And only by that power can all these things, translation, change; the glorified body comes in that name as you are changed to be with Him forever.

1 Thessalonians 4: 16 – 17: “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.”

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!

I continued with the Sermon:

Those who have taken the immortal, the eternal name of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, will become His bride, unto her is given the Lord’s Kingdom to rule with Him, and He will take her to His palace.

1 Timothy 1: 17: “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, February 27, 2022

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, February 27, 2022

This sermon talks about the Lord’s compassion. It is eternal.

Trillions of years ago, we were with the Lord in His thoughts; He did not even tell the Angels.

In Luke 16: 19 – 31, the Lord Jesus referred to the rich man and Lazarus.

Immediately after Lazarus died, he “was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom”, representing paradise.

Immediately after the rich man died, he was in hell. The “rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments”.

The Lord Jesus gave this example to show that it applies to each human being that comes upon this earth.

Each person will have to give an account of himself/herself to the Almighty God. He has already paid the price for our salvation on the cross.

Ephesians 2: 1 – 3: “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”

Before you came to true salvation, you “were” dead in trespasses and sins, you “walked” according to the course of this world, you “had” conversation in times past in the lusts of your flesh and you “were” by nature the child of wrath, even as others who are not saved.

As a result of salvation, your life has now changed.

Ephesians 2: 7: “That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”

In the ages to come, throughout eternity, we will still be glowing in the eternal salvation that the Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, has given to us.

We will be in eternity with Him. What a blessing.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, February 27, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “Compassion – Eternal – Part II”, CD # 903, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 7/25/82 (AM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

Trillions of years ago, we were with the Lord in His thoughts; He did not even tell the Angels.

If you were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you go back to the Trinitarians, you are a hypocrite.

If you drink wine or strong drink, there is a curse that follows.

Proverbs 20: 1: “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

We are to witness and to deliver those that are not saved.

The Lord was involved with the building of the great pyramid, not the other two pyramids. It is like the Bible. The great pyramid is spoken of in the Bible.

Isaiah 19: 19: “In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.”

The seed of God have eternal life.

They that love God and have His seed have eternal life.

Whoever built the great pyramid had the knowledge of the heavens. At the entrance, there is a shaft that goes downward into a pit, representing the downward course of man because of sin. It points to the north star, the polar star, representing the fall of Satan.

Satan was cast out from heaven before Adam was created.

Satan looked right at God. He was around the throne of God. He said to himself, I only have God’s word for it. He stated, I will be like the most High. Isaiah 14: 14: “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” He doubted that God is eternal.

Satan was cast as lightning from heaven. He fell into the polar region. It was not covered with ice the way it is now. Satan corrupted whatever was there. He polluted the pre-adamic civilization.

When you get to heaven, the Lord will explain His plans to you.

Demons are different from fallen angels. They are from the pre-adamic age.

The Lord showed Jeremiah the destruction of the pre-adamic age after Satan’s fall from heaven. The earth was void.

Jeremiah 4: 23 – 25: “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.”

There was never a time since Adam that there was no man. It shows a destruction took place before Adam and Eve were on the earth. It shows Jeremiah was speaking of an age before Adam was created. This period explains the fall of Lucifer; it explains the dinosaur age; it explains the ice age.

True science agrees with the Bible. The earth has been here for millions of years; man since the creation of Adam has been here for 6,000 years. The dinosaurs were not in Noah’s ark. They were of a different age – the pre-adamic age.

Adam, a son of God, was created directly from the hand of God; he was instantaneously created from God. He did not have any father or mother. He was created whole by God. He was created a little lower than the angels. He was a product from God. There was no sin. He was very tender.

After the fall, we have sons of men.

With salvation, we are now sons of God; we have eternal life.

God took the rib and tenderness from Adam and formed the woman.

After the fall, Adam was sorry. Even the animals changed; they became ferocious.

When the church gets in unity, like Adam before the fall, there will be great power among them.

The ice age got rid of the dinosaurs. God had to re-do the earth.

Jesus said I saw Satan fall like lightning. Luke 10: 18: “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven”. It shows the Lord Jesus was not just 30 years old, He is eternal.

As the Lord reveals His mysteries, it will create faith for the translation.

The Lord will send His word and He will heal His people. The flame of the Holy Spirit will move to heal His people. He is the great Physician that will heal and create what you need.

You were dead, but in salvation, you came to life; eternity is with you.

You get converted and you are an eternal creature.

The Lord’s mercies and compassion cannot change.

Lamentations 3: 22 – 23: “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

God is my portion.

The Lord is good to them that wait on Him, they that praise Him.

Habakkuk 3: 2: “O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years”.

Zechariah 10: 1: “Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.”

The Lord’s compassion is eternal; it is infinite; it is pre-determined.

You are foreknown by the Lord, the deep calls the deep.

He will not miss any of His own.

Love the Lord in your heart, love His word.

Cast your burden upon the Lord.

Psalm 27: 13: “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”

You are predestined; destiny is on us.

The glories of the Lord will return at the end of this age.

Psalm 29: 11: “The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.”

God’s promises are all true; they may be delayed, but they are all true.

I started the sermon:

John 15: 13: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

You cannot have greater love, you cannot have greater compassion, than the Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, coming in flesh and laying down his life for our sins.

Ephesians 1: 7 – 12: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.”

We have redemption through the blood of the Lord Jesus; we have the forgiveness of our sins.

The Lord has “made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself”.

What is the good pleasure that the Lord has purposed in Himself?

The next verse states: “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”.

The “fulness of times” means we are now in eternity; we are now where there is no more time.

The Lord will “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth”.

All those that the Lord has redeemed on this earth, all those to whom by faith the Lord has counted righteousness, will be gathered with Him. This is the good pleasure that the Lord has purposed in himself. We will be to the praise of His glory for eternity.

“The Lord’s compassion is eternal”.

1 John 3: 1 – 2: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

Behold, what manner of love (what manner of compassion) that the Lord God has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God.

The world does not know us, just like it did not know the Lord God Almighty when He was here on earth as the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1: 10: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

Through salvation, we are now the “sons of God”, just like Adam was a son of God before he sinned.

It does not yet appear how we will be in our eternal form. However, we know that when our eternal Lord Jesus appears at the time of translation, we shall be changed and “we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

The Lord Jesus referred to the rich man as a “certain” person. He also referred to Lazarus as a “certain” person.

It shows that the rich man and Lazarus did exist.

The Lord Jesus gave this example to show that it applies to each human being that comes upon this earth.

Each person will have to give an account of himself/herself to the Almighty God. He has already paid the price for our salvation on the cross. The Lord is aware of those that did not have the opportunity to hear about Him while they were on earth, for they will be judged by their conscience (Romans 2: 14 – 15).

Immediately after Lazarus died, he “was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom”, representing paradise.

Immediately after the rich man died, he was in hell. The “rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments”.

The rich man asked Abraham to have mercy on him. It was too late to be asking for mercy. You come to salvation while you are still alive. Also, Abraham was not the person he should be asking for mercy. You ask for mercy, while you are still alive, from the eternal God, the Lord Jesus Christ, for salvation.

The rich man did not want his five brothers joining him in hell. “For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.”

Ephesians 2: 1 – 7: “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”

As a result of salvation, your life has now changed.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins,” quickened “us together” with Christ, raised “us up together” and made “us sit together” in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

It was when we were still in sins that the Lord Jesus quickened “us together”, raised “us up together” and made “us sit together” with all those that are still in sins, but who will also come to salvation.

You should feel bold to witness knowing that the Lord Jesus has provided for you what He has also provided for others who are still in sins, but who will be coming to salvation.

Psalm 103: 3: “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities”.

“That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”

In the ages to come, throughout eternity, we will still be glowing in the eternal salvation that the Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, has given to us.

I read from Scroll # 244:

I continued with the Sermon:

This Scroll is like a prayer: “Jesus, you are more than this who created all the beauty around us and the awesome heavens, universes and stars!”

Besides the holy city (the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21: 2 – 3), there are beautiful cities and places of such wonder that we will see.

We will see beautiful colors of icy wonder like; we will see spiritual fires and lights of such beauty; we will see creatures of such formation that we will be amazed; we will see glorious spiritual colors. What the Lord Jesus has created is without number. We will see more than trillions of His creations.

We will be in eternity with our Lord Jesus Christ. What a blessing.
