Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 9, 2023
So, what is eternal life? It is nothing created. It is something in us, part of God.
With eternal life, your life does not cease.
We are part of Him and can never die, saith the Lord. We cannot pass on anymore than He can pass on. He can’t. It’s impossible. So, He doesn’t give us something created. That is eternal life. We have part of Him from the very beginning before He sent us. You could no more pass away than the eternal part that is within you. That will never pass away. It is well said and it is well done, saith the Lord.
Those that were with the Lord from eternity will come to salvation because they are appointed unto eternal life.
Acts 13: 48: “And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.”
How about those who lose their salvation, whose names are removed from the book of life? If they truly believe on the Lord Jesus, they will have eternal life. John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God!
And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!!
Salvation is solid. It is firm. It is powerful.
When we stand before the Lord in heaven, He will see Himself in us, as we are part of Him.
In heaven, the Lord Jesus will describe to us the fullness of eternal life. Salvation, as I said before, is confident. It is solid. It is really something. It is more than a reality. Amen. Because our words cannot describe the fullness of eternal life. Why, anybody that says they can describe in words the fullness of eternal life, I’ve never heard anybody in the Bible. The Lord Jesus can do it. And when we get to heaven, He’ll describe it to us as it should be described.
You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, July 9, 2023
We listened to a sermon titled “Today’s Conditions”, CD # 987A, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
Satan is the accuser of the brethren. He will intimidate you with small things, legal things that you could be doing. He will make you think you’ve done wrong, but don’t listen to him. He will make you think you’ve done wrong and even if you have, you’ve got an advocator. Tell him, quickly under the arms and the presence of God. But even when you haven’t, he will intimidate you and make you think so. He’s cunning.
Listen to what He has to say in the Bible and hold to the power of the Lord. Don’t give the devil ground, one inch, to intimidate you or any other way. Stay firm in the faith.
He’ll say, well you haven’t prayed enough today and make you feel like everything. Just go right there and start praying and promise the Lord you are going to pray more.
Satan will work on you on every way or sometimes, you’ll be watching news. You say “Should I have saw that? Have I backslidden?” Let me tell you something, “Salvation is solid, my child.” He doesn’t give you one thing one minute and take away. You have to just about walk out on Him completely because He is a compassionate God.
Be determined, rebuke Satan. Be determined in your heart and hold steady. God is right there. Salvation is solid. It is firm. It is powerful. He don’t turn you loose like that. He’ll hold right there with you.
That doesn’t mean walk out in sin. I’m not talking about that. But, I’m talking how the devil will put these little snares and the tricks to the human mind. He’ll tell one this and one that, till he finally, little by little, it may take him a year or two, it may take him six months, and he will just destroy your faith. And the next thing you know, you can’t hold on.
The translation, when you are changed, your thoughts will be a 100% purity that you’ve never seen before. And on this earth, you could do a real good job of it by being anointed, seeking the Lord, even though you have jobs where you hear all kinds of things, hold steady, just ignore it, go on, you are with God.
Be honest with yourself in your heart. You have an advocate. He is right there with you. An Intercessor, one of the greatest of all time.
2 Timothy 3: 1 – 4: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God”.
2 Timothy 4: 14 – 17: “Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.”
I want sound doctrine. I want a God that can judge the quick and the dead and the living and give eternal life. In other words, I want all of the truth and all of the doctrine. Make full proof and He will give you full revelation.
Sometimes if you are disturbed, and all the children of the Lord, the saints of God upon the earth, at one time or another, they will be oppressed, more so in their life than they were at any other time. Events seem to swing against them, as they were, that they don’t even understand. And many things occur, but let me tell you one thing, it will pass. And as you hold to God, and you believe in His word, don’t let Satan drag you down. He will take you out of it.
Salvation, which the Angels even wanted to look into, you see. Kings and prophets waited to see and wanted to see an age that ended in such a way as we have.
Know also, the end of the age, all these things I talked about, will pick up momentum, one way or the other. Be prepared, have the full shield of God upon you and you will survive.
And God will bless you and you will sit in heavenly places with Him.
In the Bible it said He shall renew your youth as the eagle.
I started the sermon:
Angels want to look into the salvation that we have from the Lord. Prophets and Kings wanted to see this great work of the Lord to us at this end of time.
Salvation, which the Angels even wanted to look into, you see. Kings and prophets waited to see and wanted to see an age that ended in such a way as we have.
Luke 10: 24: “For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”
1 Peter 1: 10 – 12: “Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.”
In the sermon titled “No Stopping It”, CD # 1060, Brother Neal Frisby stated:
When the Lord made us, He created us with a body, a soul laying next to that spirit in there. When we have eternal life, potentially through our salvation, we have eternal life. But as our body changes, the eternal life that we have has not been created. Because anything that God created, and creates it, wears out, unless He doesn’t want it to wear out. But all planets and material things, human beings, so forth, all the animals and all the worlds and lights that we see, they are on their way to vaporizing. But the eternal life does not vaporize and God doesn’t give us anything that was created either. That is the marvel of it.
We are part of Him and can never die, saith the Lord. That is eternal life. We cannot pass on anymore than He can pass on. He can’t. It’s impossible. So, He doesn’t give us something created. That is eternal life.
We have part of Him from the very beginning before He sent us. We were part of Him and we came upon the earth and that part of Him and the lights will go back to Him.
So, what is eternal life? It is nothing created. It is something in us, part of God. We are glorified in our bodies and when we stand before Him, it is nothing created that He has given us. It is eternal.
It won’t be, when you get eternal life, give you something that was created. It is something that is eternal, that will be inside of you.
You could no more pass away than the eternal part that is within you. That will never pass away. It is well said and it is well done, saith the Lord.
I read from 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:
With eternal life, your life does not cease.
The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God!
And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!!
Salvation is solid. It is firm. It is powerful.
Those that were with the Lord from eternity will come to salvation because they are appointed unto eternal life.
Acts 13: 48: “And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.”
How about those who lose their salvation, whose names are removed from the book of life? If they truly believe on the Lord Jesus, they will have eternal life. John 3: 15: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
Let me tell you something, “Salvation is solid, my child.” He doesn’t give you one thing one minute and take away.
Satan is the accuser of the brethren. He will intimidate you with small things, legal things that you could be doing. He will make you think you’ve done wrong, but don’t listen to him.
Don’t give the devil ground, one inch, to intimidate you or any other way. Stay firm in the faith.
Sometimes, it may be time that you could go fishing. He’ll say, well, that’s all wrong to go fishing, on hunting or playing ball with the kids or something like that.
Be determined, rebuke Satan. Be determined in your heart and hold steady. God is right there.
That doesn’t mean walk out in sin. I’m not talking about that.
Romans 6: 1 – 2: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
He’ll work on your thoughts, but rebuke the devil. That doesn’t mean you’re backslide, it’s coming and going. As long as you are human, something is coming through. He works through human nature.
The translation, when you are changed, your thoughts will be a 100% purity that you’ve never seen before.
At this end of the age, the congregation, after their own lusts, will determine what they want to hear. They will no longer want to hear the truth. They will turn away their ears from the truth unto fables.
2 Timothy 4: 3 – 4: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
I want sound doctrine. I want a God that can judge the quick and the dead and the living and give eternal life. In other words, I want all of the truth and all of the doctrine.
As we come to the end of the age, with the anointing of God, and like the eagle, sitting in heavenly places, but Satan can’t touch you, saith the Lord. And He said you will walk and trample on the devils and the demons and the snakes and the serpents, trample on him (Luke 10: 19).
And God will bless you and you will sit in heavenly places with Him.
When we stand before the Lord in heaven, He will see Himself in us, as we are part of Him.
In heaven, the Lord Jesus will describe to us the fullness of eternal life.
Salvation, as I said before, is confident. It is solid. It is really something. It is more than a reality. Amen. Because our words cannot describe the fullness of eternal life. Why, anybody that says they can describe in words the fullness of eternal life, I’ve never heard anybody in the Bible. The Lord Jesus can do it. And when we get to heaven, He’ll describe it to us as it should be described.

We listened to a sermon titled “Genuine Faith”,CD # 977 B, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
There’s real faith and wavering faith.
James 1: 6: “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”
They thought that He was nowhere inside. In fact, He was not only on the water before they saw Him, He was in the boat all the time in the spirit world. If He couldn’t be in two places at once, He wouldn’t be the eternal God.
The three Hebrew children were prepared. They were thrown in the fire, but they had genuine faith. Daniel had genuine faith.
The elect that God will translate, the genuine faith will be planted in that heart. And the genuine faith is going to carry them through.
How about the tribulation saints? How about their faith? One difference, the elect of God could go through the bad times with their faith and they can go through the good time with their faith.
But the tribulation saints, they can’t go through the good times with their faith, that God was giving, but when the pressure is on, then they can use their faith. He calls them to different positions. They had genuine faith before that was over with.
Pretty soon, you go looking with your eyes, you go to listening, you go to watching. Pretty soon, you waiver.
James said when you pray when you ask in faith, nothing wavering. Hold to that faith. If you waiver, come back to that line and straighten it out. Get that faith and hold to that faith.
Don’t take your eyes off of God’s promises. Jesus was the promise of God and the promises of God.
Be steady, assure your heart. In your heart, assure it. You will not waiver.
Jesus, never wavering. Not even in combat with Lucifer. Not even when He was transferred here and there with him in dimensions to show Him the Kingdoms of the world.
No matter what kind of demon power or men threaten to kill Him, He never waivered, but He put a perfect example of power and went right straight to the cross, done the job that He came to do and was resurrected and translated.
The elect today, from some of the waivering faith, is going to be gathered together, they are going to walk on God’s water of power. Yea, saith the Lord, they will not sink, but they will go upward.
Assure your hearts. The elect, although waiver sometimes, let’s have a steady faith. You want a determined faith. Faith in your heart to assure yourself.
Who through faith, it just reads like everything they moved, they were so, in their minds and hearts, so conscious of faith, they rarely could do anything without something happening to them and their faith and how it worked.
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.”
Enoch, his power, he walked with God and by faith, he was translated. That’s the type of church because his faith never waivered. If the Lord said, “I’m going to take you”, he never waivered.
He told Elijah, “I’m going to take you in this chariot”, he never waivered.
Hebrews 11: 7 – 8: “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing wither he went.”
Hebrews 11: 24 – 27: “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”
Hebrews 11: 29 – 30: “By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.”
1 Kings 18: 41 – 46: “And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.”
They were building up God that He did the right thing because of how that they’ve seen the Lord beforehand.
From wavering faith to understanding faith to foresee His ways as marvellous and great, past finding out. His ways are true, they said, no matter what anybody says.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? Lord Jesus. They knew who He was.
What created that glory? They worshipped Him, they praised Him, they glorified His name, and it’s filled up with smoke and it filled up with glory.
And when you have faith that does not waiver, you will look into the dimension of God and you will see His glory abiding in the temple. That’s steadfast faith, and that faith that believes is what’s going to carry you through.
Never waiver, but believe in your heart.
Every great victory you’ve had, every time that God does a wonderful thing for you, Satan will try to cause you to waiver, whatever you are doing. Remember that in your heart.
It won’t come from just the way we preach; it will build into that. But then, all of a sudden, He will move on those hearts and here they’ll come. And here God will move His people in for a great moving because then, time is short when He begins to move like that.
In other words, He takes over completely. And that’s our head, saith the Lord, guiding.
I started the sermon:
From wavering faith to understanding faith to foresee His ways as marvellous and great, past finding out. His ways are true, they said, no matter what anybody says.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? Lord Jesus. They knew who He was.
In the sermon titled “The Revelation In Jesus”, CD # 908, Brother Frisby stated:
The tribulation saints that are driven in the midst of great tribulation across the earth, they begin to understand who Jesus is. The tribulation saints begin to learn what many of you have known for years; see, you are the first fruit. The people that ripen first under the power of God and the word of God. They were known as the first fruits; the bride elect of God. Therefore, He come on early for them.
John 1: 9 – 10: “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.”
The very One that created them come back and looked at them.
John 14: 7 – 9: “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”
And Philip said, “Lord, where is the Father?” And Philip was standing right there. He said, “You’ve both seen Him and talked with Him”. Glory to God; anybody going to deny that? It is wonderful.
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.”
All roads lead to the Lord Jesus.
That little baby; it’s ancient, ancient, ancient, until it goes back into infinite. Isn’t this wonderful.
We cannot have eternal life unless He is eternal.
In Matthew 1: 18 – 25, Joseph was told by the Angel of the Lord that what was conceived in Mary was “of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS”.
In Luke 1: 26 – 33, the Angel Gabriel told Mary she would conceive “and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.”
Isaiah 9: 6 tells us that “The mighty God”, “The everlasting Father”, would be born as a child.
Thus, the name of “The mighty God” is Jesus. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 1: 10 states “He was in the world, and the world was made by him”. The world was not made by someone else.
Colossians 1: 16 – 17 states: “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.”
They thought that He was nowhere inside. In fact, He was not only on the water before they saw Him, He was in the boat all the time in the spirit world (Matthew 14: 24 – 32). If He couldn’t be in two places at once, He wouldn’t be the eternal God.
You plant your faith with Him. He watches over it. He knows that you planted that faith and you believe in your heart.
Genuine faith, it is real faith. Wavering faith will stop you from realizing the great things from God. You must be determined in your heart.
The elect will be taught, the elect will receive, this genuine faith and the power of faith at the end of the age and their faith, although it may look at a distance small cloud, that rain and revival will come and pour out upon all of His people.
Never waiver, but believe in your heart.
We are gonna go into a revival. We are going into determined faith by the saints, will not waiver, but believe in their heart. The elect will believe in their heart and they will bring revival like that cloud, will begin to grow, each time, it will begin to grow, until we have a real rainstorm of power of revival and restoration.
The elect that God will translate, the genuine faith will be planted in that heart. And the genuine faith is going to carry them through.
Don’t take your eyes off of God’s promises. Jesus was the promise of God and the promises of God.
Nothing wavering, you shall have whatsoever you saith. That’s what’s coming for that promise. Ask anything in my name, I will do it. Speak the word only, it shall be done. Now, you are getting out of wavering faith into what we call genuine faith from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Daniel, you don’t want to waiver where he went to. Daniel was in the lions’ den; don’t waiver there. He had faith. He did not waiver. The Lord called him to that lions’ den.
The three Hebrew children were prepared. They were thrown in the fire, but they had genuine faith. Daniel had genuine faith.
The elect that God will translate, the genuine faith will be planted in that heart. And the genuine faith is going to carry them through.
Hebrews 11: 33 – 34: “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.”
Who through faith, it just reads like everything they moved, they were so, in their minds and hearts, so conscious of faith, they rarely could do anything without something happening to them and their faith and how it worked.
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.”
Enoch, his power, he walked with God and by faith, he was translated. That’s the type of church because his faith never waivered. If the Lord said, “I’m going to take you”, he never waivered.
He told Elijah, “I’m going to take you in this chariot”, he never waivered.
I read from Scroll # 41:
I continued with the sermon:
Revelation 15: 8: “And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.”
What created that glory? They worshipped Him, they praised Him, they glorified His name, and it’s filled up with smoke and it filled up with glory.
And when you have faith that does not waiver, you will look into the dimension of God and you will see His glory abiding in the temple. That’s steadfast faith, and that faith that believes is what’s going to carry you through.
The elect across the earth and all around the earth, they will be something coming into the heart. He will put in their heart that His coming is very close and all over, ones that never even really felt that before will feel that urgency and something and somehow that He is going to do that.
It won’t come from just the way we preach; it will build into that. But then, all of a sudden, He will move on those hearts and here they’ll come. And here God will move His people in for a great moving because then, time is short when He begins to move like that.
In other words, He takes over completely. And that’s our head, saith the Lord, guiding.
1 Thessalonians 5: 4 – 5: “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.”
The Holy Spirit will show you things to come (John 16: 13 – 14).
The Lord will plant in our hearts that He is coming very soon.
