Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, January 29, 2023
Matthew 16: 18: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
We know upon this rock is the rock of the Lord Jesus. He never built it upon the Apostle, at all, it will be man.
The forces of hell, with all of its gates and people and demon powers shall not prevail against the church, that’s built upon the rock, meaning what the Lord Jesus Christ said.
And that means, He said, upon this rock of my word, the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ eternally, who He is, standing there.
The devil and his power will not prevail against your salvation, your home or your work or your harvest work or whatever you are doing for the Lord; he will not prevail against it.
We are the prevailing force. And this force is what’s keeping the world, right now, from a complete holocaust. It is the Elect that love God. You are really a part that you didn’t know about.
But when the Elect, the very heart and eye of God, the apple of His eye, when He takes that in a moment, then the earth goes into great tribulation.
And He said the works I do shall you do and greater ones than these. Talking about creating fingers, talking about creating miracles.
God is our refuge, right there, we have a place with Him. We are covered by His wings. It’s a place that Satan cannot get to. It is a refuge where all of his weapons are wiped out. Satan has to turn back. God is our refuge.
This refuge that we have in the Lord Jesus reminds us of Colossians 3: 3: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
God’s children, you see yourself as flesh and blood, with curious and anxious eyes and ears to know and to see all that you can, but you are points of light in flesh here on probation.
Our flesh will change back into that point of light, whether you die in that grave or resurrected, there is a change coming. And that flesh will change back to that point of light, but it’s enhanced, it’s glorified.
We come as points of lights.
In a nutshell, this is what your life on this earth is all about.
You are a point of light that came from God, now manifested in flesh. At the time of translation, your flesh will change back to that point of light, enhanced as the glorified body, and you will go back to God from where you came.
You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, January 29, 2023
We listened to a sermon titled “Prevailing Force”, CD # 964B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
If you really belong to the Lord Jesus, if you really love the Lord and you are one of His appointed, the forces of hell will be arrayed against you. But the forces of heaven will be on your side.
Being with the Lord means that you are in a greater force than those that do not have that much going against them; they do not have much help either in the final end.
We know upon this rock is the rock of the Lord Jesus. He never built it upon the Apostle, at all, it will be man. But what He did, He knew the Apostle will carry the revelation finally and write it in the Bible. But upon this rock matches the Headstone, the Chief Corner Stone, upon that. And the words that He spoke, then it will be built upon what He spoke is what He meant.
“And my church shall be built upon what I have spoken”. Glory to God. And they shall act upon it also.
He said I will build my church upon this rock. And He said the gates of hell, meaning the people of hell, the very gates of hell, shall not prevail against it. Amen, and shall not overthrow it.
The church is going on through. Do you believe that?
Song of Solomon 6: 10: “Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?”
His church is a great and powerful army with the weapons of the Holy Spirit.
His elect throughout the earth, it will have power. And give them power to prevail.
He can break the rock of the devil, but the devil can’t break His rock.
Jeremiah 23: 29: “Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
No matter how much confrontation, how much power that Satan will put upon you, the word of the Lord is like a fire. It’s like a hammer and you just hammering and keep on hammering till he breaks all to pieces.
But the Bible said my word shall stand for ever. That’s what you want to stand on, is the word of Lord Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 26: 4: “Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength”. You can trust God eternally.
Psalm 46: 1 – 5: “GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.”
He is also our strength. When you become weak in spirit or you become weak in your body, He is your strength and He will guide you in wisdom and strength.
In the last day revival, the Lord will move and right early, at the appointed time of the rains. His time’s appointed for revival.
The people are going in the make-believe world of fantasy and delusion. God’s people are going into a spiritual world, a facts that is based on the word. It may look like fantasy word, but it’s so supernatural, it is a reality beyond all realities, from glory to glory, from dimension to dimension, until we are changed in a moment, in the twinkling of eye. We are working towards that. We get good enough at it, the twinkling of an eye, we are able to change.
We are coming and entering into a time where the people of God, honestly, are really going to enjoy revival from God.
Jeremiah 23: 18: “For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?”
Jeremiah 23: 20: “The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.”
Jesus Himself had to withstand Satan’s onslaughts against Him and He did it by quoting the word. He can get rid of him real quick that way.
The actual, genuine, way is to know that God’s word is true.
His people will have an opportunity to unite them. The faith that causes them to become a twinkling of an eye in one moment. When that comes together, it’s going to produce such energy and power, it’ll be beyond voltage of electricity in the spiritual world that God gathers His people. What a wonderful time. Oppression cast out easily, anxieties, worries and fears and aches and pains and cancers, it’ll be like blowing a fly off something. What a glorious time. No wonder it says His church is like army waiving a banner. It’s victorious.
And He said the works I do shall you do and greater ones than these. Talking about creating fingers, talking about creating miracles.
We are moving into the works I do, back in Solomon’s temple, back in the days of Ezekiel, the works I do shall ye do and greater works than these shall ye do. What a glorious time is coming for His people.
No matter what Satan does, he will not stop the children of the Lord. We’ve got mighty powerful things coming.
Psalm 92: 12 – 14: “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing”.
The prevailing force of the Almighty, the power of the Lord, we are the prevailing force.
Matthew 16: 18: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
We know upon this rock is the rock of the Lord Jesus. He never built it upon the Apostle, at all, it will be man.
And that means, He said, upon this rock of my word, the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ eternally, who He is, standing there.
The rock is the Lord Jesus, knowing that He is the mighty God, He is the everlasting Father (Isaiah 9: 6) and He is the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1: 20 – 25).
The devil and his power will not prevail against your salvation, your home or your work or your harvest work or whatever you are doing for the Lord; he will not prevail against it.
If you really belong to the Lord Jesus, if you really love the Lord and you are one of His appointed, the forces of hell will be arrayed against you. But the forces of heaven will be on your side.
The forces of hell, with all of its gates and people and demon powers shall not prevail against the church, that’s built upon the rock, meaning what the Lord Jesus Christ said. That cannot be broken by Satan; it cannot be broken by any kind of angel or demon powers.
Jesus Himself had to withstand Satan’s onslaughts against Him and He did it by quoting the word. He can get rid of him real quick that way.
InMatthew 4: 1 – 11, the Lord Jesus quoted the Scriptures three different times to Satan.
We also quote the word of God to the devil to withstand him.
And by acting upon the word of God, then we also prevail against the powers of evil, and the forces that are arrayed are pushed back.
James 4: 7: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The devil will leave you alone not just by walking away, he will flee from you when you resist him with the word of God.
We are the prevailing force. And this force is what’s keeping the world, right now, from a complete holocaust. It is the Elect that love God. You are really a part that you didn’t know about.
But when the Elect, the very heart and eye of God, the apple of His eye, when He takes that in a moment, then the earth goes into great tribulation.
You can be in a village, with no running water, thousands of miles away from Russia, and yet, you are a part of what is preventing Russia from moving down to Israel for Armageddon. As long as we are still on this earth, the great tribulation cannot start.
You are part of the prevailing faith; you are part of the prevailing force.
I read from Scroll 11 Part 1:
GREAT EARTHQUAKES, EXTREME WEATHER AND ATOMIC DESTRUCTION- The Lord shows me the earth axis is changing by his command. As earthquakes increase all over the world, California will receive many severe quakes. Then afterwards San Francisco and Los Angeles will be destroyed as a major part of Calif. slips into the sea. Millions die as Calif. becomes a feeding ground for sharks. Watch! Before this happens huge islands will appear off our coast out of the sea! as a sign of Christ soon return. After all this the Lord shows me Russia breaks her truce-New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., Detroit, and Philadelphia will be destroyed by atomic destruction (THUS SAITH THE LORD!)
I continued with the sermon:
And He said the works I do shall you do and greater ones than these. Talking about creating fingers, talking about creating miracles.
What Solomon had in all of the glory arrayed at that time. Jesus said the works I do and He is talking clear on back, behind the burning bush, on back in the beginning when God creates the heavens and the earth.
Psalm 46: 1: “GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
God is our refuge, right there, we have a place with Him. We are covered by His wings. It’s a place that Satan cannot get to. It is a refuge where all of his weapons are wiped out. Satan has to turn back. God is our refuge.
This refuge that is ours in the Lord Jesus reminds us of Colossians 3: 3: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
You have a witness in your spirit that you are a child of God.
Romans 8: 14 – 17: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
In the sermon titled “God’s Greatness”, CD # 1241, Brother Neal Frisby stated:
God’s children, you see yourself as flesh and blood, with curious and anxious eyes and ears to know and to see all that you can, but you are points of light in flesh here on probation.
Our flesh will change back into that point of light, whether you die in that grave or resurrected, there is a change coming. And that flesh will change back to that point of light, but it’s enhanced, it’s glorified.
We come as points of lights.
Now, one day, by not rejecting the word, but believing the word, one day, you are going to change back to that point of light, but it will be enhanced and glorified.
A point of light sent by God.
How can He bring in a beam of light here in flesh and take you back in a beam of light and put you up in front of Him and say you will live on and on; there is no time limit and He’s already purposed it.
In a nutshell, this is what your life on this earth is all about.
Apostle Paul also mentioned that this mortal, your flesh, will change to immortality, the glorified body.
1 Corinthians 15: 51 – 58: “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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 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.”
You are a point of light that came from God, now manifested in flesh. At the time of translation, your flesh will change back to that point of light, enhanced as the glorified body, and you will go back to God from where you came.
