Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 17, 2022
This sermon talks about what the Lord has waiting for those who continue in His word.
You shall become a pillar in the temple of God (Revelation 3: 12). That means you will have a position; a pillar is a position that holds authority and strength.
Revelation 21: 22: “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” Our Lord Jesus is the temple in our eternal home and He will make you a pillar in His eternal presence. It means you are not just coming to visit and then leaving. Rather, you are permanently in His presence for eternity.
You shall sit with Jesus in His throne (Revelation 3: 21), where all things are ruled and you will seat next to the One that created all things. You are sitting next to the Almighty God – not three seats or four seats away, but next to Him. You cannot have a higher position in heaven than sitting next to the Almighty God in His throne.
From that throne, we will behold all that the Lord God has created, where there is no end. We will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder.
I will write his name in a white stone and give him a new name, meaning because you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power. When he change your name, the whole thing changes.
He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
What is the second death? You won’t be touched by it if you follow instructions and follow the word, saith the Lord. The great eternal life, second death can’t bother you.
But another way it is too, is that eternal judgment could be that He could do away from you and eternally you will never be known no more. Will that be eternal judgement? Completely, forever away from God.
It means anyone who did not accept true salvation will be done away with, eventually, for eternity. It is as if such a person never existed.
To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna.
Now, that hidden manna will have to do with the Lord Jesus and His many secrets and what He reveals to His people. You will have knowledge of the secrets of God, some of which are hidden from the Angels.
The Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, will make you a pillar in His eternal presence. He will grant you to sit next to Him in His eternal throne where all things are ruled. He will let you see beautiful cities and places of such wonder that He has created, where there is no end. He will give you a new name because “you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power”. He will give you eternal life and the second death cannot bother you. You will have knowledge of the secrets of God, some of which are hidden from the Angels.
What a gracious God.
You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 17, 2022
We listened to a sermon titled “Much given – Much Required”, CD # 919, Part Two, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 10/31/82 (AM)
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
We find out in the Bible, when the Lord gives a message, if the people do not follow it through, if they don’t act upon what the Lord has given in the message, sometimes they can leave and come back in worse shape than when they came before.
He will have a full house at the end of the age, the Bible says.
He will have a people that will follow through what He has given. That is the elect of God, that is the main body of Christ and that is the wheel of the Lord. And those people will follow through what has been preached and they will work upon that and the Lord will bring faith miracles in their lives.
You are my disciple if you continue in my word (John 8: 31).
Now at the end of the age, He will give messages and those messages acted upon will give them eternal life.
If they act upon those messages, they shall receive divine healing. If they act upon those messages, they shall receive salvation and they shall receive faith and they shall receive power.
Jesus Himself said to whom much is given, much is going to be required.
Those that follow instructions, those that act upon His word will be taken out, eternal life will be given them.
But the people that love God, they are going to follow on through and be better. They are going to follow on through unto more faith. They are going to act upon what God gives by His power and they are coming on through.
He will have a people and that’s the people that He is going to work with. They will follow through on the messages, they will follow through and receive their healings, they will receive salvation, they will receive power, they will receive instructions for their own lives because they are the seed of God.
We are going into a great revival and the revival will come from what? Following the instructions of the word of God. If they follow it through, they can’t help, but to win.
We must act upon the word of God. If we don’t, we become worse than we were when we first heard the word of God.
Remember He said, ye are my disciples if you continue in my word.
If you continue in His word, you can’t help but to believe God for a miracle. If you continue in His word, you can’t help to receive power and healing and baptisms of the Holy Spirit. If you follow the instructions of that word, you can’t help but to knock the devil down. If you follow the instructions, you will, saith the Lord, knock him down.
These promises are to those that follow through and act upon His word.
Revelation 2: 7: “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 tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
That tree of life is the Lord Jesus. And there is where you will be. To him that overcometh, that follows through, that continues, shall receive, partake, of the tree of life.
He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death (Revelation 2: 11).
What is the second death? You won’t be touched by it if you follow instructions and follow the word, saith the Lord. The great eternal life, second death can’t bother you.
The Bible gives eternal judgment. But there could be a time where it is done away with, according to some other Scriptures; we really don’t know.
But you can say, being not hurt of the second death. Now, the second death, means after the judgement (Revelation 20: 11 – 15).
I believe the second death is like the eternal separation from God. You are eternally separated from that precious Holy Spirit. But another way it is too, is that eternal judgment could be that He could do away from you and eternally you will never be known no more. Will that be eternal judgement? Completely, forever away from God.
Just to be away from God, seeing what you miss, is torture enough. It will be uncomfortable. Just to be separated from the Holy Spirit will be agony.
The second death could be eternally done for, put out of the way, finally, after millions, millions of years.
To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna and give him a white stone and a new name in the stone (Revelation 2: 17).
Hidden manna: Jesus said I am the bread that came down from heaven, the spiritual bread (John 6: 31 – 58).
Now, that hidden manna will have to do with the Lord Jesus and His many secrets and what He reveals to His people and has a new name that no one knows will come to them and a white stone and he will partake of the hidden manna which we know is the Lord Jesus.
As He reveals His secrets, as He reveals His revelations and as He reveals the things that are coming in the heavenlies that has never entered into the heart or into the mind or the ears of the people on the earth.
Shall have power all the nations and rule with a rod of iron (Revelation 2: 26 – 27). That is complete authority.
If you follow through these instructions, you will have power, dominion and authority that you’ve never dreamed about, more than anybody else.
Each individual that makes it, you will have more authority, more power than anybody in this world has ever had and they will have it with the Lord Jesus. And I shall give you power over all the nations and power over kingdoms and dominions.
We don’t know how many places in the heavenlies that He’s got, but he shall receive power and He will be with you there.
You will never die again; you are eternal with Him (John 11: 25 – 26).
You shall be confessed before all the angels and everyone in heaven, to those that follow through my word (Revelation 3: 5).
You shall become a pillar in the temple of God (Revelation 3: 12). That means you will have a position; a pillar is a position that holds authority and strength. That is a great position that God is going to give.
You shall sit with Jesus in His throne (Revelation 3: 21), where all things are ruled and you will seat next to the One that created all things.
I will write his name in a white stone and give him a new name, meaning because you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power. When he change your name, the whole thing changes.
I started the sermon.
Revelation 21: 2 – 3: “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
The holy city, the new Jerusalem, is coming from the eternal God. It is not coming from somewhere else. The “tabernacle of God”, God’s residence, “is with men, and he will dwell with them”. We are now dwelling with the Almighty God in this holy city. This is our eternal home with Him.
Revelation 3: 12: “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out”.
Revelation 21: 22: “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”
You shall become a pillar in the temple of God (Revelation 3: 12). That means you will have a position; a pillar is a position that holds authority and strength. That is a great position that God is going to give.
Revelation 21: 22 states there is no temple in the holy city. It means you will not find the temple of God in a particular corner in the holy city. Rather, the Lord God Almighty Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, is the temple in our eternal home and He will make you a pillar in His eternal presence.
Luke 1: 19: “And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.”
Isaiah 6: 1 – 4: “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.”
Revelation 4: 8 – 11: “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
You will find angel Gabriel (Luke 1: 19), the Seraphims (Isaiah 6: 1 – 4) and the Cherubims (Revelation 4: 8 – 11) in God’s presence, but you will also be there, because He has now made you a pillar in His presence. It means you are not just coming to visit and then leaving. Rather, you are permanently in His presence for eternity.
Psalm 100: 4: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
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.”
While we are on earth, by praising and worshipping the Lord, we can enter His gates and courts. When we are translated, we are dwelling permanently in heaven with Him. In His presence “is fulness of joy”.
You shall sit with Jesus in His throne (Revelation 3: 21), where all things are ruled and you will seat next to the One that created all things.
You will sit with our Lord Jesus, the Creator, in His throne, next to Him – not three seats or four seats away, but next to Him, where all things are ruled.
You cannot have a higher position in heaven than sitting next to the Almighty God in His throne.
From that throne, we will behold all that the Lord God has created, where there is no end.
I read from 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!
I continued with the sermon:
In addition to the holy city, we will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder that the Lord has created. We will see “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”. “Surely and definitely many marvelous mysteries await us that love Him! Literally more than trillions of creations will He unveil to His chosen!”
I will write his name in a white stone and give him a new name, meaning because you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power. When he change your name, the whole thing changes.
Shall have power all the nations and rule with a rod of iron (Revelation 2: 26 – 27). That is complete authority.
Each individual that makes it, you will have more authority, more power than anybody in this world has ever had and they will have it with the Lord Jesus. And I shall give you power over all the nations and power over kingdoms and dominions.
The Lord is going to give you a new name (Revelation 2: 17) because “you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power”. Once the Lord changes your name, everything regarding you changes. He now gives “you power over all the nations and power over kingdoms and dominions”.
You shall reign with Him.
He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death (Revelation 2: 11).
What is the second death? You won’t be touched by it if you follow instructions and follow the word, saith the Lord. The great eternal life, second death can’t bother you.
I believe the second death is like the eternal separation from God. You are eternally separated from that precious Holy Spirit. But another way it is too, is that eternal judgment could be that He could do away from you and eternally you will never be known no more. Will that be eternal judgement? Completely, forever away from God.
The second death could be eternally done for, put out of the way, finally, after millions, millions of years.
It means anyone who did not accept true salvation will be done away with, eventually, for eternity. It is as if such a person never existed.
To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna and give him a white stone and a new name in the stone (Revelation 2: 17).
Now, that hidden manna will have to do with the Lord Jesus and His many secrets and what He reveals to His people and has a new name that no one knows will come to them and a white stone and he will partake of the hidden manna which we know is the Lord Jesus.
As He reveals His secrets, as He reveals His revelations and as He reveals the things that are coming in the heavenlies that has never entered into the heart or into the mind or the ears of the people on the earth.
In the sermon titled “Divine Purpose And Great Secrets”, CD # 1401, Brother Neal Frisby stated:
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 man 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 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.
The Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, will make you a pillar in His eternal presence. He will grant you to sit next to Him in His eternal throne where all things are ruled. He will let you see beautiful cities and places of such wonder that He has created, where there is no end. He will give you a new name because “you are going to be a new ruler, you are going to have new power”. He will give you eternal life and the second death cannot bother you. You will have knowledge of the secrets of God, some of which are hidden from the Angels.
What a gracious God.
