Prevailing Prayer — May 19, 2024

← Back to all sermons

Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, May 19, 2024 But prayer now will cause divine intervention. Even after the elect church is gone, the prayers that we pray for the ones that are lost, and the prayers that we pray for God to intervene in revival, and to help us, even after the translation of the church, and the last part of the tribulation going on there, the Bible said that He will intervene or no flesh will be saved. What caused divine intervention? Not only the Hebrews praying, and those that were left in great tribulation crying out to the Lord, but it’s the prayers of those with great faith. It was the prayers of those, while they were yet alive on this earth, and their prayers are kept in vials, the ones that have faith, that God keeps there. It is so important that Satan and his angels are trying to block the elect’s prayer, and they have an important program themselves, and vital to them, because, and he will not stop the prayer, he will try, because prayer is a weapon that he cannot go up against. He cannot defeat a faithful prayer. No matter how many days he delays, he cannot defeat. A true vine will spring forth. That will be the ones that have faith, the ones that they don’t just take the Bible as a bypass, no, they take it as the authoritative word of the Lord, infallible. You say infallible? Yes, every one of His promises, according to the Scripture, are infallible. Let any human try to figure a way out, and try to annul that, and I’ll show you somebody, a fool says in their heart, there is no God. Every one of His promises on salvation, on healing, for Israel, all through the Bible, all of His promises are infallible. Don’t ever let Satan tell you they are not; they are true. And when you see Him before the throne, you are going to find out they are true. God has faith in His word, that it is infallible. He is the word of God. Ephesians 2: 8: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”. When you came to salvation, at that very moment, you accepted as infallible in your heart the word of the Lord that He has forgiven you of your sins. Otherwise, you would not have come to true salvation. Galatians 2: 20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” It means you live by the faith of God every day. The faith of God to believe His word as infallible means the same thing to you as it means to Him. The “Son of God” is the Lord Jesus, “The mighty God”. Isaiah 9: 6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” There is coming a fulfillment in the heart, where the hunger and the thirst, in the heart, it will come. A fulfillment from the Holy Spirit will come into the heart, that’s not been exactly like this before in this generation. And in that fulfillment, will be close to the time of the translation. It will be in the latter part, or the middle part, of the great revival that we are in now, going in into the deeper depth of this revival. And that fulfillment alone will be worth following the Lord. Until it reaches its peak, and there is a translation, and then, the other type of fulfillment, will be light, a glorified light in your body, in your bones, will change, and you will never die again. That is Thus saith the Lord. Isn’t the promise of eternal life wonderful? Let us worship the Lord: Jesus, you are more than this who created all the beauty around us and the awesome heavens, universes and stars! One day beside the Holy City we will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder of thy creation! You will be blessed. Josephus Oluwatoyin Thomas

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

I started the sermon: Your prayers now will cause the Lord to intervene at the end of the great tribulation so that the whole world is not destroyed: But prayer now will cause divine intervention. Even after the elect church is gone, the prayers that we pray for the ones that are lost, and the prayers that we pray for God to intervene in revival, and to help us, even after the translation of the church, and the last part of the tribulation going on there, the Bible said that He will intervene or no flesh will be saved. What caused divine intervention? Not only the Hebrews praying, and those that were left in great tribulation crying out to the Lord, but it’s the prayers of those with great faith. It was the prayers of those, while they were yet alive on this earth, and their prayers are kept in vials, the ones that have faith, that God keeps there. Mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit will come as prayer begins to prevail: When it is poured out, what will occur? As more in-depth revelations, in-depth miraculous, the in-depth of God’s Holy Spirit begins to come, because time is short. What will occur? Supernatural boldness will come. It will be a type of boldness in spirit that we’ve never witnessed among the elect, and among the body of Christ, ever in the history of the world. What else will occur? The supernatural anointing. A real enduement that has not been seen before in our generation will come. It will be outward signs, more in the outward scope will take place. The glory of the Lord will be seen. I even believe, at times, Angels will appear before the translation. But once you unite, and you get alone in your heart, when you do, and you remember there was a Scripture in the Bible, coming into a closet, being alone with God, and how that He will reward openly, there’s your outward sign coming (Matthew 6: 6). Satan cannot defeat a faithful prayer: It is so important that Satan and his angels are trying to block the elect’s prayer, and they have an important program themselves, and vital to them, because, and he will not stop the prayer, he will try, because prayer is a weapon that he cannot go up against. He cannot defeat a faithful prayer. No matter how many days he delays, he cannot defeat. As this age is ending, and as the age is closing out, you will be rewarded in this lifetime and in the lifetime to come, saith the Lord. It’ll follow you, right straight on through, your works do follow you. Taking the word of God as infallible: A true vine will spring forth. That will be the ones that have faith, the ones that they don’t just take the Bible as a bypass, no, they take it as the authoritative word of the Lord, infallible. You say infallible? Yes, every one of His promises, according to the Scripture, are infallible. Let any human try to figure a way out, and try to annul that, and I’ll show you somebody, a fool says in their heart, there is no God. Every one of His promises on salvation, on healing, for Israel, all through the Bible, all of His promises are infallible. Don’t ever let Satan tell you they are not; they are true. And when you see Him before the throne, you are going to find out they are true. God has faith in His word, that it is infallible. He is the word of God. Ephesians 2: 8: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”. When you came to salvation, at that very moment, you accepted as infallible in your heart the word of the Lord that He has forgiven you of your sins. Otherwise, you would not have come to true salvation. Galatians 2: 20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” It means you live by the faith of God every day. The faith of God to believe His word as infallible means the same thing to you as it means to Him. The “Son of God” is the Lord Jesus, “The mighty God”. Isaiah 9: 6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Colossians 3: 4: “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” There is coming a fulfillment in the heart, where the hunger and the thirst in the heart, it will come. A fulfillment from the Holy Spirit will come into the heart, that’s not been exactly like this before in this generation. And in that fulfillment, will be close to the time of the translation. It will be in the latter part, or the middle part, of the great revival that we are in now, going in into the deeper depth of this revival. And that fulfillment alone will be worth following the Lord. Until it reaches its peak, and there is a translation, and then, the other type of fulfillment, will be light, a glorified light in your body, in your bones, will change, and you will never die again. That is Thus saith the Lord. Isn’t the promise of eternal life wonderful? Let us worship the Lord: Scroll # 244: BEAUTIFUL CITIES – Jesus, you are more than this who created all the beauty around us and the awesome heavens, universes and stars! One day beside the Holy City we will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder of thy creation! Besides the stars and heavens you have created magnificent things that we have not seen! “Beautiful colors of icy wonder like, of spiritual fires and lights of such beauty, and creatures likewise of such formation that we will be amazed and startled by such a creator of so many more things that can not be mentioned and are without number! Such glorious spiritual colors never seen or beheld by man’s eyes!” – Surely and definitely many marvelous mysteries await us that love Him! Literally more than trillions of creations will He unveil to His chosen! – After this was revealed to me I wondered how to unveil it and then I remembered God’s Word that could have to do with the millennium. (Luke 19: 16-19) But also may involve what was told. Nevertheless the elect are in for many surprises that eye hath not seen!
