Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, August 28, 2022
This sermon talks about the eternal plans of the Lord.
People, they don’t see the infinite of God. The providence, the pre-planning, that is already, all of it already been done in His mind and in His thoughts, in His word, in His power.
You might have lost a child who only lived for a few days or one of your siblings might have passed on when you were young, but the Lord knew about it in His plans from trillions of years ago, from eternity.
You know the names of your parents and you may even know the names of your grandparents, but do you how the name of the person who came before him or her or the name of the person who came before that one or the name of the one who came before that one in each generation?
The Lord keeps track, and has already kept track, of each person.
That is why the Lord pre-planned that you would be born to a specific family and pre-planned where you would be born.
“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”.
When He created man, He gave him a desire in his heart, and in his heart is a desire to either be converted or he can refuse it. But in his heart, He gave a desire to worship. Sometimes, they worship an idol, sometimes they worship something else. The desire to worship is to lead them to the Lord Jesus.
He didn’t just create somebody and said now I will do this here, now that looks pretty good. No; He wanted somebody to worship Him. He already created the angels. Therefore, He created what will come out to be worshipping Him. And all of them that did not praise Him, and called of Him, will be turned down.
Out of every denomination, out of every movement, He will begin to woo and to move with His power and it will be great.
That revival will begin to come, and it will begin to magnetize, and it will draw from everywhere, and out in the highways, in the edges, and the people that has never known God, out on the streets, never knew an organization, never known anything, never known deliverance, never knew anything, and He begins to bring, and He will move, and He will pour out upon all flesh.
In the plans of God, already pre-determined from eternity, He has chosen us to come to salvation and He will change our bodies at the time of translation to live with Him for eternity. Amen.
You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, August 28, 2022
We listened to a sermon titled “New Things”, CD # 931 (Part Two), preached by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
When He creates, He creates something that He needs. It’s never been seen nor heard nor ever will be. It is not something that He is thinking up; it is something that He wants for a purpose, and that is the way it comes into being.
The first Adam, He created him, the mind of Adam and Eve, that man was created then, it is like the man today except God learned him, his mind is increasing in knowledge and at the end of the age, the same as the ancient man was, except that he is learning more.
In all of His providence, He knows exactly. He didn’t just create man and said now let me see.
He knows exactly what He wanted. Therefore, what He wanted He went ahead and did.
It is connected to kind of faith.
Luke 21: 35: “For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”
Isaiah 42: 9: “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Isaiah 43: 18 – 19: “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
The ancient man that was here, at the same time as Adam, that his mind, although it was capable, God did not teach him all of the things that men are learning today in this generation.
Television was here when Adam was here, before Adam probably. Radio was here before Adam was here on the earth. Man waited from Adam till now to only discover it; God already put it here.
Without the Lord putting it there first, there will be no television, there will be no radio, there will not be any type of atom.
The atom was there at the time that Adam was there. But he did not split it or discover it. It was not for his time because God not ready to blow up the world.
Only at the end of the age, man wants, seemingly, to commit suicide.
At the end of the age, the Lord allows the atom to be split, but the atom has been here all of the time. We only discover what the Lord has.
In this revival, the Spirit of God is in the air. Each age can reach up by its faith and get that close to it.
That Spirit is in the air; it’s ready and we are only waiting to walk into that dimension. And in the dimension, at the proper time, when people’s hearts come to the time that God wants them to come to that time, and when they enter into that time zone, they’ve entered into that revival that has been here all the time, only waiting, from the days of the Apostles.
And when we reach a certain point, translate. Amen. Elijah reached a certain point, translate. Enoch reached a certain point, translate.
Out of every crack and nook and corner, He will call the real thing. It will come. When He calls, they can’t wait to get to Him because He knows how to call.
Then out of the highway and the edges, where it’s never been preached before, people has never even been in church, people that has never even saw a church.
That revival will begin to come, and it will begin to magnetize, and it will draw from everywhere, and out in the highways, in the edges, and the people that has never known God, out on the streets, never knew an organization, never known anything, never known deliverance, never knew anything, and He begins to bring, and He will move, and He will pour out upon all flesh.
He’ll pour that Spirit out and the ones that He is calling will receive it.
When He gets them united in a body all over the earth, there is the one that He is going to carry away.
John 3: 18: “He that believeth on him is not condemned”.
There will come a great sweeping of power upon the earth that you have ever seen before, and he will certainly bless His people. Amen.
I started the sermon.
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.”
The Lord Jesus is the person who dwells in eternity, “the high and lofty One”, “whose name is Holy”. He was dwelling in that eternal fire while at the same He was upon the earth.
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.”
The Lord Jesus is “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.” He dwells in the realm of eternity, where there is no separate yesterday, today or tomorrow.
All that will ever happen is “already been done in His mind and in His thoughts, in His word, in His power”.
You know the names of your parents and you may even know the names of your grandparents, but do you how the name of the person who came before him or her or the name of the person who came before that one or the name of the one who came before that one in each generation?
The Lord keeps track, and has already kept track, of each person.
We read about generations in Luke 3: 23 – 38 and Matthew 1: 1 – 17.
The Lord can tell you the number of generations from a specific person to another person and from that person to you.
In all of His providence, He knows exactly. He didn’t just create man and said now let me see.
He knows exactly what He wanted. Therefore, what He wanted He went ahead and did.
He never created anything and looks at it and say: “Do I need that?” He already knows the purpose behind it; that He creates what He needs because He has a purpose for it.
The Lord does not create something and then decides what He wants to do with what He has created. Rather, He had decided what he needed and then creates it for that specific purpose.
Psalm 100: 3: “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves”.
In Romans 9: 10 – 24 we read that the Lord had decided that Esau, the elder, would serve Jacob, the younger and that He hated Esau, but loved Jacob, before they were born. He also stated He created Pharaoh for a specific purpose:
“And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, THE ELDER SHALL SERVE THE YOUNGER. As it is written, JACOB HAVE I LOVED, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, EVEN FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE HAVE I RAISED THEE UP, THAT I MIGHT SHEW MY POWER IN THEE, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE DECLARED THROUTHOUT ALL THE EARTH. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?”
Psalm 135: 6: “Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.”
Matthew 10: 29 – 30: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
Ephesians 1: 11: “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”.
We were predestinated, chosen for salvation from eternity, by Him who works “all things after the counsel of his own will”.
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!
I continued with the sermon:
In God’s “infinite love and wisdom He has a plan for you and every person born in this world! It is a definite plan”. People, they don’t see the infinite of God. The providence, the pre-planning, that is already, all of it already been done in His mind and in His thoughts, in His word, in His power.
The Lord has a definite plan for each person, no matter how many days or years that person lives on earth and no matter what language that person speaks.
There are only two options the Lord has given to man – to either be converted or he can refuse it.
The Lord put in man a desire to worship.
The desire to worship is to lead them to the Lord Jesus.
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.”
Scroll # 70:
Why are there such secrets in praise, because that is why we were created to praise the Lord of Host!
Out of every crack and nook and corner, He will call the real thing. It will come. When He calls, they can’t wait to get to Him because He knows how to call.
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:
Everyone whose spirit was part of God will come to salvation, “in order to always live with Him”.
It makes no difference what kind of sinful life that person may be living now, he or she will eventually come to repentance and accept the Lord Jesus for salvation.
The thief on the cross came to salvation (Luke 23: 39 – 43).
Then at the end of the age, across the earth, man, by the Holy Spirit leading him, will discover that revival is here. It is walking among us, but the people’s heart has to change. Other things, persecution, different things will come upon the earth, perilous times will come.
That Spirit is in the air; it’s ready and we are only waiting to walk into that dimension. And in the dimension, at the proper time, when people’s hearts come to the time that God wants them to come to that time, and when they enter into that time zone, they’ve entered into that revival that has been here all the time, only waiting, from the days of the Apostles.
And when we reach a certain point, translate. Amen. Elijah reached a certain point, translate. Enoch reached a certain point, translate.
Out of every one of those past movements, the little light that was left, there is a heart cry. They want an experience. They know that we are at the end of the age. There is something in man telling him time is up soon. We are nearing the end of the age. The last hope; this is it.
Then out of the highway and the edges, where it’s never been preached before, people has never even been in church, people that has never even saw a church.
The Lord will sweep in this revival into His eternal Kingdom two separate sets of people: Those people who have been to church, but have a true yearning for the Lord – “Out of every denomination, out of every movement”, and those who have never been to church – “out of the highway and the edges”, those “out on the streets”.
He’ll pour that Spirit out and the ones that He is calling will receive it.
When He gets them united in a body all over the earth, there is the one that He is going to carry away.
In the plans of God, already pre-determined from eternity, He has chosen us to come to salvation and He will change our bodies at the time of translation to live with Him for eternity. Amen.
