Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 27, 2021

This sermon talks about the fact that that the children of the Lord have the eternal spirit of the Lord in them.  They will eventually repent and believe in the Lord Jesus.

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 Lord has a heavenly name waiting for you (Revelation 2: 17).  No one else knows this name, but you and the Lord.  This new name will let you reach out and do things in the kingdom of God.

You will sit with the Lord on His throne (Revelation 3: 21) and you will inherit all things (Revelation 21: 7).  The Lord will reveal to you His secrets, some of which are hidden from the Angels.

The Lord will also reveal to you what He has in other parts of the Universe that have been hidden from view.

The Almighty God throughout eternity will still be talking about His great kindness towards us by Him coming to die for our sins as the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2: 7).  Revelation 1: 18 also shows that He is still talking in heaven about His death for our salvation.   It states:  “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.”

 

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, June 27, 2021

We listened to a sermon titled “Important Word”, CD # 979B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 11/20/83 (AM).

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

You can have revival anytime you want in your heart.

Revival is coming from the true word of God.

The Jews told Jesus that He being a man made Himself God.  Rather, Jesus told them, He being God made Himself a man.

People do not give enough of thanks to God for His word.

The Lord told Moses that because he failed to give thanks, because he failed to sanctify the Lord in the eyes of the children of Israel, he would not lead the children of Israel to the promised land (Numbers 20: 12).

We have all been saved by grace.  By whose stripes you were healed.

Never let anyone take your eyes off Jesus.

Believe the word of God for faith, power and salvation of souls.

Do not fail to give thanks and to sanctify the Lord for how great He is.

The word of God is important.  You need to take Jesus as the true God as it is important to Him.

If ye continue in my Word, then are ye my disciples (John 8: 31).

Hatred of Christ is caused by hatred of the word.

Give thanks to the Lord for His word; faith cometh by hearing the word of God.

He that keeps the word of God shall be kept from the hour of temptation.

The word of God (Jesus) is the best friend you will ever have.

Don’t fail to sanctify the Lord and to give thanks for what He has done for you.

The seed is the word of God that is sown (Luke 8: 11; Matthew 13:  18 – 23).

This is now harvest time.

He that heareth the word of God and understandeth it not, then the devil catcheth away the word of God that was sown in his heart.

He that heareth the word of God in stony places, having no root, is offended because of the persecution of the word.

Do not blame others and then leave the word of God; there is no more hope until that person repents.  If you leave the word of God, blame yourself and the Lord will come and get you.

If you are ashamed of Christ’s word, then the Lord will be ashamed of you (Luke 9: 26).

They that received the seed among thorns let the cares of this life choke the word of God from them.

The elect receives the word of God on good ground; they will understand the truth, believe the truth and the Lord will work miracles through them.

The word of God does not lie; it tells the truth; it is great.

The Lord puts his eternal spirit in the elect; the others do not have the eternal spirit, otherwise, they will have eternal life.  The eternal spirit is in you and the Lord creates flesh around it.  Your body will be glorified.  There is the true vine; there is the false vine.

Inside of Satan is a time bomb.  A fire ignites in him and he turns into ashes (Ezekiel 28: 18 -19).  There is a time limit on him; he does not have eternal life.

The saints of God have eternal life.

The words of the Lord are spirit and they are life (John 6: 63).

The Lord has done for you all that you will ever need.

 

I started the sermon.

Brother Frisby mentioned in his sermon that the children of the Lord have the eternal spirit of the Lord.

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:

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

This Scripture states:  “the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

You are able to go about your daily life because God put a spirit inside of your body that makes you to be alive.  This spirit will “return unto God that gave it.”

For a child of God, the spirit that God gave to you was part of Him – not next to God, but part of God.  “The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God!”  That “is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God!”  That is why a child of God will eventually come to repentance (will come to salvation) in order to keep the spirit that God already gave him/her.

The body may be in the grave, but the person’s spirit is somewhere else, either with the Lord in the third heaven (paradise, a resting place) for those that come to salvation or in hell (a resting place) for those that did not come to salvation (Luke 16:  19 – 31; 2 Corinthians 12: 1 – 4).  The final home for the children of God is the Holy City (Revelation Chapter 21).  The final home for those who did not come to salvation is the lake of fire (Revelation Chapter 20).

Remind yourself always that you have the eternal spirit from God in you.

Always set your mind on the Lord and do not let anything that comes your way on this earth disturb you.  That is how you will have the peace of God.  Isaiah 26: 3:  “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:  because he trusteth in thee.”  Once you let your mind stay on the Lord, He will keep you in perfect peace.

God is not the God of the dead because those who died in faith are alive in paradise.  Mark 12: 27:  “He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living:  ye therefore do greatly err.”

2 Corinthians 5: 8:  “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”

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.”

It states:  “the time of my departure is at hand”.  It is like when someone is going for a flight or going to take a train or a bus and you have a time for your departure.  You are still the same person that is going from one place to another place.

The Lord is coming very soon.  In addition, the Lord can call for you at anytime.  You can leave this earth at anytime either through death or at the time of translation (rapture).  Either way, sooner or later, the time of your departure will be at hand.

 

I read from Scroll # 43:

THE CHOSEN NAME – GOD FOREKNEW US BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD! (Rev. 17: 8)  In (Rev. 2: 17) – It reads God will give His Elect a white stone and in the stone a “new name already written!”  And only you will know the name.  Hundreds of Scriptures can bare this out but it proves God foreknew His Elect and gave him a heavenly name hidden from the beginning.  And then upon the earth he was given an earthly name (Rev. 2: 17) shows that we will be given the original name also.  This definitely shows that He knows each of His Elect as personal as He does “Gabriel” His archangel!  And brothers and sisters that makes His Elect an important class of all ages!  He loves us and imprinted it in stone!  (Eph. 1: 4)  We were chosen in Him before the world!

This is what Brother Frisby said in a sermon titled “Divine Purpose And Great Secrets”, CD # 1401:

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 one else 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 that 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.

 

I continued with the sermon:

This heavenly name that God gave to you is hidden by Him.  This is your original name.  You will get back your original name.  The reason for the Lord creating you and your purpose for eternity is tied to this original name.

This heavenly name that the Lord has for you has nothing to do with who you are on this earth.  This eternal name was reserved for you by the Lord Jesus before you were born on this earth.

You will go back to God to fulfil the reason for Him creating you.  No one else knows this name, but you and the Lord.  You and the Lord have the code to that name.

As it states:  “This new name that 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.”

The Lord Jesus paid the price on the cross to make it possible for you to receive the name that goes with your eternal life.

This is your original name and it will be given back to you when you meet the Lord in heaven.

Why will the Lord reveal to you His secrets, some of which are hidden from the Angels?

It is because you are sitting with Him on His throne.  Revelation 3: 21:   “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”  The Lord Jesus is the Almighty God and He is also the Father.  Isaiah 9: 6 calls Him “The mighty God, The everlasting Father”.

This Scripture states He will “grant” to you to sit with Him on His throne for eternity.

The Lord will also reveal His secrets to you because you shall inherit all things of God for eternity.  Revelation 21: 7:  “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”

In addition, the Lord will reveal to you what He has in other parts of the Universe.

 

I read from Special Writing # 136:

“Also we might say in due time God will reveal to His saints what He has in other parts of the Universe that has been hidden from view.  Surely many parts of it is inhabited by some type of life and so forth, and after the translation He will reveal to His elect their duty and the rest of His plans for the ages into the eternities! – Rejoice that you know and understand these things and be prepared in your heart to be ready at all times!”

I continued with the sermon:

What you will be doing for the Lord throughout eternity is already preset.  Just as the Angels of God have their own tasks and do them well, you will also do your tasks well.

We are going to have eternal joy as we receive more revelation of the Lord Jesus and more knowledge of what He has.  We are going to be thankful to the Lord throughout eternity for our salvation.  The Lord God Himself will still be talking about our salvation for eternity.

Ephesians 2: 7 – 8:  “That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”.

This Scripture states:  “in the ages to come”, the Lord will be showing “the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus”.

It means throughout eternity, the Almighty God will still be talking about His great kindness towards us by Him coming personally to die for our sins as the Lord Jesus Christ.  This is “the gift of God” to us.

Revelation 1: 18 shows that the Lord God is still talking in heaven about His death for our salvation.   It states:  “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.”

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.”

 

 

 

 

 

Let us be thankful to our eternal God for His word as it creates faith; it creates certainty to the soul.
