Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 10, 2022
This sermon talks about igniting your faith.
Isaiah 46: 9 – 10: “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure”.
He is a thinking God, otherwise, it will not state: “My counsel”. It means the Lord God has already thought things through for eternity.
When you are God and there is none else, when you are God and there is none like you, you do not need the opinion of anybody else. You can declare “the end from the beginning”. You can, from ancient times, declare “the things that are not yet done”. You can declare your “counsel shall stand”. You can declare “I will do all my pleasure”.
Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that it is only the Lord Jesus Christ that can declare He is God and there is none else, that He is God and there is none like Him, because this Scripture states He is “The mighty God”.
Hebrews 11: 6: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
For you to have the faith for translation, for you to please the Almighty God, you must believe who He is. You must believe that the eternal God is the Lord Jesus as stated in Isaiah 9: 6.
“I am the Lord, I change not. The people may change, I change not. That is why I am eternal, cannot be changed; it is set. That is the Saviour; there is a Messiah. That’s why nothing shall fail. All that are mine will come and all that are mine I will take away.”
You believe in your heart that Jesus is the eternal One and you believe that Jesus is not just a prophet or just a man or just one personality walking around under God, if you believe that Jesus was and is, like the first Chapter of Revelation, who said He was, is and the One to come, the Almighty is what it says, and you believe that Jesus is eternal, you are the elect seed of God. You believe it in your heart and in your soul and those are faithful words, saith the Lord.
Keep this in your heart; you will never go wrong. He will bless your heart; He will prosper your hands; He will touch you; He will heal you; He will fill you.
You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 10, 2022
We listened to a sermon titled “Igniting Faith”, CD # 1047, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 4/14/85 (AM).
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
When you witness, there is no more joy than witnessing to the people or telling somebody about God.
There is a great reward for the soul winner and there is a great reward to the intercessor.
Jesus said: Nothing shall be impossible to you, and the works I do shall you do.
Jesus is looking for living faith to do wonders. Your faith is dead without works or action.
Jesus is looking for live, living, active faith in power to do wonders and He is going to do some wonders and He is going to do some signs and going to do it to the people that are taught by the word of God how that they can receive this and how they can act their faith.
The Bible said in Genesis 18: 14, according to it, there is no prayer too hard for the Lord to answer.
There is no promise too hard for the Lord to fulfill, the Bible says.
Jeremiah 32: 17 and about the same Chapter 32, it said nothing is impossible with Him. He was talking about Jeremiah, said just create the heavens, the stars, moon, all these things and He said there is nothing impossible with Him, there is nothing too hard with Him.
Elisha followed Elijah right to the end. When he did, he not only saw him go away, he saw what he went away in; he saw the glory of the Lord, the angels and the Angel of the Lord.
Elisha will see Elijah again.
There is a light when you are converted and measures of power and anointing that is given to that individual.
Matthew 19: 26: “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 11: 28, 30: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Luke 4: 18: “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED”.
There is no problem too hard for the Lord to solve, in your family, in your neighbourhood, on your job, in your school, children, in your home, wherever it’s at, in your business, in your finances, it doesn’t make any difference.
There is nothing too hard for God to solve.
There is no problem, no mystery, no riddle, no puzzle, no anything too hard for Him to solve.
There is no place on this earth too hard for the Lord to move or revive.
Luke 1: 37: “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Faith is dead without action, without believing, without intercession, without prayer; prayer must be behind everything that you do and intercession for the anointing of the Lord.
There is no willing heart too hard that the Lord cannot breakup and save.
Hebrews 7: 25: “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”
There is no sinner too hard, in the depths of sin, no heart too hard, but it says right here, that the Lord, He can break it up and bring that heart to be one of the best Christians that you will ever look upon.
By His hands of power, by the knowledge and wisdom in His cloud of glory, He will form that church, bring in the miracles like lightning in a cloud, a dynamo of faith and power, ignite your faith.
“I am the Lord, I change not. The people may change, I change not. That is why I am eternal, cannot be changed; it is set. That is the Saviour; there is a Messiah. That’s why nothing shall fail. All that are mine will come and all that are mine I will take away.”
Jesus is looking for living faith, active powerful faith that is moving at all times in the heart, an energizing faith of power and then whatsoever you say shall come to pass; whatsoever you say, you shall have the desires of your heart.
Haggai 2: 9: “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Joel 2: 25: “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”
Ephesians 3: 20: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
There is nothing too hard for the Lord.
I started the sermon:
Special Writing # 75:
GOD’S ETERNAL WORD
“In this correspondence let us check into the promises of God and see just what He has done for all of us!” – “First let’s establish one thing, the people on this earth do not realize just how great and powerful the Lord Jesus is! – It is beyond comprehension, but unto His elect He reveals much of His might and authority! – He is the omnipotent and infinite One! – There is no sickness, prayer or problem too hard for Him to handle! – He knows all things that you need even before you pray! . . . He knows each healing and miracle in advance that will be wrought upon His children! . . . Even those who come and go out from Him! . . . He foreknows it all!”
“God’s eternal Word never fails nor changes! – He says, He declares the end from the beginning! – And from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand and I will do ALL my pleasure!” – Ps. 119:89, 160, “For ever O Lord thy Word is settled in heaven. Thy Word is true from the beginning!” – “Now He reveals the authority that He will give unto those who are bold enough to speak the Word only unto Him!” – Isa. 45:11-12, “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning ‘the work of my hands command ye me’!” – “I have made the earth and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.” – “The Word stretched out proves we are living in an expanding Universe! . . . The Scientists say that it is being created and moving from us as the speed of light! – The Infinite is creating kingdoms without end!” – “When the Lord began to get Job’s mind off of his troubles, He began to reveal to him how great His creation was; and Job marveled at His wonders! – It was at this point that he quit seeing the dark side of his sickness, and began seeing the positive part of his blessings! – And he prayed for his friends and was healed!”
I continued with the sermon:
As a child of God, you have faith, otherwise, you would not have had the faith for true salvation, where the sting of death is gone.
Ephesians 2: 8: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”.
You started your walk with God because of faith.
You can continue your walk with God because of faith.
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 states: “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 the life that you now live in the flesh, you are living by the faith of the eternal God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who loved you and gave Himself for you.
Isaiah 46: 9 – 10: “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure”.
He is a thinking God, otherwise, it will not state: “My counsel”.
It means the Lord God has already thought things through for eternity.
When you are God and there is none else, when you are God and there is none like you, you do not need the opinion of anybody else.
You can declare “the end from the beginning”. You can, from ancient times, declare “the things that are not yet done”.
You can declare your “counsel shall stand”. You can declare “I will do all my pleasure”.
Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that it is only the Lord Jesus Christ that can declare He is God and there is none else, that He is God and there is none like Him, because this Scripture states He 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.”
Hebrews 11: 5: “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”
By the faith that Enoch had, he was translated by God, just like it will the Lord God Himself who will translate us. By his faith, he pleased God.
Hebrews 11: 6: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
For you to have the faith for translation, for you to please the Almighty God, you must believe who He is.
You must believe that the eternal God is the Lord Jesus as stated in Isaiah 9: 6.
You must believe John 1: 9 – 10 which states the world was made by the Lord Jesus: “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”
You must believe Colossians 1: 15 – 17 which states the Lord Jesus created all things: “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
The devil knows that Lord Jesus is the eternal God and he trembles. James 2: 19: “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”
1 John 5: 4: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
Our faith of who the Almighty God is overcomes the world. We can overcome all that is in this world; we can overcome all that the devil will bring.
“I am the Lord, I change not. The people may change, I change not. That is why I am eternal, cannot be changed; it is set. That is the Saviour; there is a Messiah. That’s why nothing shall fail. All that are mine will come and all that are mine I will take away.”
Jesus is looking for living faith, active powerful faith that is moving at all times in the heart, an energizing faith of power and then whatsoever you say shall come to pass; whatsoever you say, you shall have the desires of your heart.
Revelation 1: 8: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 1: 17 – 18: “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 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.”
From the Sermon titled “The Revelation In Jesus”, CD # 908, preached by Brother Neal Frisby, this is the definition of the elect seed of God:
You believe in your heart that Jesus is the eternal One and you believe that Jesus is not just a prophet or just a man or just one personality walking around under God, if you believe that Jesus was and is, like the first Chapter of Revelation, who said He was, is and the One to come, the Almighty is what it says, and you believe that Jesus is eternal, you are the elect seed of God. You believe it in your heart and in your soul and those are faithful words, saith the Lord.
Keep this in your heart; you will never go wrong. He will bless your heart; He will prosper your hands; He will touch you; He will heal you; He will fill you.
