Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, October 15, 2023 By the signs which, all around us, we can safely say the last chapter of the church age is closing. What an hour, and what a time to live in. And Jesus said, when this was occurring, will He find any faith when He returned? Knowing that He would, but He asked that question to stimulate our mind and make us wonder about our faith and about the other that call themselves faith. So what is He going to find? Enduring faith. Matthew 7: 21 – 23: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” The Lord Jesus is telling us that you can prophesy, you can cast out devils and you can perform many miracles in His name, but the type of life that you live also matters. Otherwise, He will tell you, “depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” John 4: 23 – 24: “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” You can dance and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs as much as you want, but if there is no pure word in your heart, if there is no eternal faith in your heart towards the eternal God, it makes no difference to Him, for “they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. The Lord “seeketh such to worship him”. Hebrews 11: 6: “But without faith it is impossible to please him”. Those people, listening to the revelations that have been given and what will be given by the power of the Lord, they are going to have the strong faith because Satan is going to try to buffet you. The more that Satan pushes at that elect, and the more that he tries to buffet them with trials, tribulations or any other way, misgivings or whatever he can do, the more the power of God will be given to her. And the more anointing should come upon them because God, His grace is sufficient for us. Therefore, with Satan at the end of the age, as we put on the full armor, as He’s coming, then the kind of faith we need is what? The faith that will run the race and win the race. Your faith in the Lord Jesus is eternal. It is a lasting faith. A faith that starts with God, yea, saith the Lord, and finishes with the Lord God. That is faith. It starts, it is in the middle and it finishes the race with the Lord. Hebrews 12: 2: “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith”. Here on earth, we praise the Lord because we were created to praise the Lord of Host! When we get to heaven, we are going to continue doing the same thing, because we will all be singing the praises of the Lord when we surround His throne. You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, October 15, 2023 We listened to a sermon titled “Endurance Faith”, CD # 996, Part Two, preached by Brother Neal Frisby. In the sermon, Brother Frisby said: Enduring faith, what an hour we’re living in . We are seeing the closing chapter of the age. We are actually witnessing the last chapter of the age. It’s closing into the Philadelphia church age, the Laodicean age. By the signs which, all around us, we can safely say the last chapter of the church age is closing. What an hour, and what a time to live in. And Jesus said, when this was occurring, will He find any faith when He returned? Knowing that He would, but He asked that question to stimulate our mind and make us wonder about our faith and about the other that call themselves faith. I truly believe that the systems of man, no matter if its independent or what, as long as it’s system of men, they believe God about 30% and about 70% man. Finally, they’ll get 100% man. And I believe the real elect of God believe God 100% and no man, except they will honor or will trust His prophets. Now, there is the Christian, saith the Lord. Jesus said upon returning, will He find any faith? Of course. But He wanted us to kind of examine ourselves, to cause us to stop and pause and wonder about what kind of faith. Like I said, 30% in trusting God, 70% in man. And as I spoke a while ago, the elect trust God 100%. They have the enduring faith. So what is He going to find? Enduring faith. And you must have great endurance of faith and this kind of faith for the last turn of the race. It’s the last chapter and when you round the corner, and you’ve been running a race, you better have some stamina inside. You better have the durable, the endurance. And Paul, when it come to his time, of all the writers, he accounted it as run the race to win. He likened it unto a race to win a prize, the high prize, the high calling in the Lord (Philippians 3: 14). Run it well, Paul said, and he likened it unto a race and don’t lag (1 Corinthians 9: 24). We are closing the final chapter. We are coming round that stretch. We are coming round the corner. And only those that have built up inside this powerful stamina, endurance of faith and power, that is absolutely in their system, so powerful. It was like Elijah the prophet, when his human body had all but given up and he laid down. His faith was so powerful, it produced the angel to cook him a meal (1 Kings 19: 4 – 8). That’s faith. But within his soul, that will meet Jesus, the personality. Within that soul, inside that old tabernacle, there was enough of faith to produce the angel to cook a meal for him to go 40 more days without eating, for him to call on the chariot, get up and leave. He had faith. Faith that himself never dreamed of that had been built in him, unconscious and powerful. Every message that I preach and every sermon, there’s something coming out of me like rays of power, coming into the people, getting into their souls and hearts, laying within them, so that they can, on this, at the right time, and have this power and have this faith, lest they fall by the wayside, just before the final trumpet. You are in a race and that’s the race of faith, the Bible said, with the word of God leading you. We run this final stretch. You have got to have that great endurance built up and that stamina has to be within. Something that you can call on at that moment and it will be there. That’s the way I preach. That’s the way I pray for people. And that’s the way I deliver my messages. And the people that don’t want that in them, they are gone. But I can tell you one thing, the ones that God gave me that I preach to, I’m going to want to welcome them. We are in a race. And that race of faith, 100% in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 15: 57 – 58: “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” No matter who you testify to, maybe from the platform, on TV or radio or where, or no matter how you are prayed or what, your work will not be in vain. Be steadfast, be unmoveable, Paul said, because it is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 16: 13: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith”. The endurance is what we need in the final run. The chapter is closing. Faith built on sand is like system. When the faith is built upon the sand, the water and the wind and the rain, she is not going to stand, and when it comes against it, it’s going to sink. And if your faith is built upon sand, it’s going to go when the test come. It’s going to as the age closes out. You’re gonna sink just before the Lord comes. But faith that is built on the rock, that is the kind of faith that is durable. It is endurance. The rock of faith is what we need with the Rock of Ages. It is a lasting faith. A faith that starts with God, yea, saith the Lord, and finishes with the Lord God. That is faith. It starts, it is in the middle and it finishes the race with the Lord. Cast away your doubts, clear them out of your mind, protects your faith by praising the Lord, listening to the messages that are anointed because there is substance on it, a power that’s on it that will go inside your system, in your heart and mind and cause you to believe and it will be positive and it will be powerful. So, build your faith on rock; do not build your faith on sand, that wavering faith, double-minded type of faith. Build it upon the rock, but not on sand because it will leave you in shambles, it won’t work. The rock, built on the word of God, the faith that will win this race. Now, we are turning the corner. That’s exactly as the Lord has given it to me, the final chapter. Don’t let your faith slip now. This it the time that you are going to need that faith. In this final chapter, will be written for the elect, and have your faith strong, something that will stay with you and keep it in your heart. That means you will not listen to anything that will guide you away from that faith. Here is another reason why the Lord wants, should I find any faith? The kind He is looking for is the faith that is really durable, a faith that the prophets had. So, not faith one day and then none tomorrow, but solid faith. Faith that is lasting on into the throne. Paul gave us a little secret. Writing in the Bible, as he did, revealing to us, he had been carried away into heaven, in paradise. Many things that are unlawful to utter. He didn’t even want to tell them that he was the one that went up there. He didn’t want to talk to them about it. It’s what he wrote it, in such a way he did, but then he came on out and revealed it. There were things given to me. He thought that if he said too much, that he was actually, Apostle Paul, was in heaven. He just said I once knew a man, which was him, into Paradise, that he saw things, and God revealed things, why things happen on the earth and how predestination works and all of these, and the glories and the voices and all of that in heaven. That it was unlawful for him to even mention it. John, on the island of Patmos, will tell them a few things there, but whatever it was, he could not mention it. He didn’t want to talk about it, but he did give us some viewpoints here. It was for his benefit too, because of his hard labor in the gospel. The way he had to write the New Testament was different than any of the rest of them that wrote, setting up the church and how the devil had fought Paul. He had a personal visitation for his own good, and then he was brought down. But here is what it says. He always was example of the elect of God. So, run the race to win. And not even an Angel, though he come and look like an Angel, can preach any other gospel than the gospel that Paul preached, he said. He said let him be cursed if he does. And he told how he baptized. Paul told how it’s set up, he told how it was done in the Bible. He told them a real revelation here. And he’s going to bring out a viewpoint, for he is an example of the type of the elect. Because of the great revelations that he had received, not only in heaven, but all the revelations that came to him through the light that would come to him and the Lord. He said I write this by the commandment of the Lord, or sometimes, he would say that he would write it by the authority, and he would write it by the Holy Spirit. Because he received many revelations, as the elect will receive too, and the elect will receive the revelation power. And because he had power to cast out devils out, power to heal the sick and the Angel of the Lord with him, he was really tested. Now, here is one of the reasons that you want to have the faith that endures at the end of the age. 2 Corinthians 12: 7: “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.” Now, in this building, in my writings, in all my cassettes, in all my scripts, I don’t go very far without a revelation coming. The people that hear that, it’s a revelation, stimulation power. They know something they never did see before come like that by the power of the Lord. Those people, listening to the revelations that have been given and what will be given by the power of the Lord, they are going to have the strong faith because Satan is going to try to buffet you. So you see, at the end of the age, because of the abundance of revelations been promised, in the Thunders, in the Seals, the Trumpets and all the word of God, because of the abundance of revelations that will be given to His children, at the end of the age, then old Satan will try to buffet it. He will try to be like thorn in the flesh and buffet it. 2 Corinthians 12: 8 – 9: “For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” How is the power of God coming on? The more that Satan pushes at that elect, and the more that he tries to buffet them with trials, tribulations or any other way, misgivings or whatever he can do, the more the power of God will be given to her. And the more anointing should come upon them because God, His grace is sufficient for us. Therefore, with Satan at the end of the age, as we put on the full armor, as he’s coming, then the kind of faith we need is what? The faith that will run the race and win the race. The age that we live in, the time that we live in, old Satan will try to buffet that elect of God. Not only that, but he will push against some of the Christians that are not quite the elect, but he will really try to turn aside that real person that’s called from God, that one that is a real true seed; the one that really loves God, that one that says I have enough of the troubles of this old earth and I know that heaven is a better place. So, Jesus said, shall I find any faith? Very little of what He is looking for, but He will find it. And it will be the faith that’s like the prophets’. It is durable. So, at the end of the age, Jesus is calling for, it is that solid faith, the lasting faith, as we turn that chapter now and we are coming in that homestretch, you better have it inside. You better have a heart of faith and a strong pair of lungs full of faith in the word of God. If it is not built now, saith the Lord, it won’t be built then. He saves His best and His greatest things for the people that He has chosen to carry away with Him. The Book of Hebrews, how the endurance was there, from the Old Testament clear to the end of that Testament, how the faith, every one of those, that God gave the prophets, won the race. And that’s what we need and that’s what we will have. Shall I find any faith? 2 Corinthians 13: 5: “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” Don’t just wonder, well, when the time comes, I’ll have faith. Know what you’ve got inside of you. Know how you believe in your heart. Be confident each day when you wake up that you can go through that day. But, have the faith of God and the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart, and we’re going to win the race. The elect are running a race and its being relayed, every church age. Being relayed also from the Jews for 6,000 years; we have 2,000 years, 7 church ages. Each one drops the relay as that age closes out and transpires. Another age comes, God sends a prophet, sends a great reformer. Here comes another one. And then he hands that relay to another one. Another church age passes on, transpires, closes out like the phases of the moon. Then right now at the end, there’ll be no more relays passed. The 7th church age is closing out. It is no more relay passed there. It is spewed out of God’s mouth; the race is over for them. And the church is translated away. So, we have the relay. But we’ll hand it to Jesus. Glory, Hallelujah. And that relay is our faith in our heart. So, as we turn the corner, we’re coming through the stretch, we must have faith. It’s steel, power, cannot bend and stay right with that and you can’t help, but to run right straight into Jesus. Besides going to heaven, besides being in that translation and making a way out of here, He’s going to give you the joy and the desires of your heart while you are still here too, because He’ll bless His people. And this is the victory, even our faith. You win by that strong anointed faith.

I started the sermon: By the signs which, all around us, we can safely say the last chapter of the church age is closing. What an hour, and what a time to live in. And Jesus said, when this was occurring, will He find any faith when He returned? Knowing that He would, but He asked that question to stimulate our mind and make us wonder about our faith and about the other that call themselves faith. So what is He going to find? Enduring faith. So, Jesus said, shall I find any faith? Very little of what He is looking for, but He will find it. And it will be the faith that’s like the prophets’. It is durable. Matthew 7: 21 – 23: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Jesus was the one talking here, and yet, He is the Father; He is the mighty God (Isaiah 9: 6). He is the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1: 20 – 25). The Lord Jesus is telling us that you can prophesy, you can cast out devils and you can perform many miracles in His name, but the type of life that you live also matters. Otherwise, He will tell you, “depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” John 4: 23 – 24: “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” You can dance and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs as much as you want, but if there is no pure word in your heart, if there is no eternal faith in your heart towards the eternal God, it makes no difference to Him, for “they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. The Lord “seeketh such to worship him”. Hebrews 11: 6: “But without faith it is impossible to please him”. Your soul is the personality that will meet Jesus. It was like Elijah the prophet, when his human body had all but given up and he laid down. His faith was so powerful, it produced the angel to cook him a meal (1 Kings 19: 4 – 8). That’s faith. But within his soul, that will meet Jesus, the personality. Within that soul, inside that old tabernacle, there was enough of faith to produce the angel to cook a meal for him to go 40 more days without eating, for him to call on the chariot, get up and leave. He had faith. Faith that himself never dreamed of that had been built in him, unconscious and powerful. Psalm 19: 7: “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Just like Apostle Paul had abundance of revelations and for which he was buffeted by Satan (2 Corinthians 12: 7 – 9), the Lord will give us, at this end of time, abundance of revelations, and Satan will try to buffet us. Those people, listening to the revelations that have been given and what will be given by the power of the Lord, they are going to have the strong faith because Satan is going to try to buffet you. The more that Satan pushes at that elect, and the more that he tries to buffet them with trials, tribulations or any other way, misgivings or whatever he can do, the more the power of God will be given to her. And the more anointing should come upon them because God, His grace is sufficient for us. Therefore, with Satan at the end of the age, as we put on the full armor, as He’s coming, then the kind of faith we need is what? The faith that will run the race and win the race. Your faith in the Lord Jesus is eternal. It is a lasting faith. A faith that starts with God, yea, saith the Lord, and finishes with the Lord God. That is faith. It starts, it is in the middle and it finishes the race with the Lord. Hebrews 12: 2: “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith”. You are in a race and that’s the race of faith, the Bible said, with the word of God leading you. The elect are running a race and its being relayed, every church age. Another age comes, God sends a prophet, sends a great reformer. Here comes another one. And then he hands that relay to another one. Another church age passes on, transpires, closes out like the phases of the moon. Then right now at the end, there’ll be no more relays passed. The 7th church age is closing out. It is no more relay passed there. So, we have the relay. But we’ll hand it to Jesus. Glory, Hallelujah. And that relay is our faith in our heart. Faith that is lasting on into the throne. Faith leads to praising the Lord. I read from Scroll # 70: Why are there such secrets in praise, because that is why we were created to praise the Lord of Host! The Lord said David was a man after His own heart because he sang and praised unto Him “as he waited patiently upon Him!” The Lord chose this man’s throne to set upon, he chose to come through this man’s loins later as the Bright and Morning Star, and as the lion of Juda. The Lord whispered in the heavens that he was happy with the king, he rejoiced in his steadfastness, even when there seemed no hope he trusted in the Lord! He chose to sit on David’s throne because we will all be singing the praises of the Lord when we surround it! Here on earth, we praise the Lord because we were created to praise the Lord of Host! When we get to heaven, we are going to continue doing the same thing, because we will all be singing the praises of the Lord when we surround His throne. Revelation 4: 8 – 11 tells us what happens in heaven: “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.”
