Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, September 18, 2022

Introduction:  Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, September 18, 2022

This sermon talks about the fact that we have part of God, eternal life, from the very beginning before He sent us to the earth.  You had an original name, a heavenly name, before you came to this earth.  Nothing on this earth makes any difference because the Lord will give back to you this same name that He has reserved for you from eternity.

Some people do not understand eternal life.  They don’t understand salvation very much.  But the Bible explains it is a bliss. 

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. 

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.

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.

When we stand before the Lord, He will be looking at Himself in us because the elect spirits were part of Him before we came to this earth. 

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. 

It makes no difference what you come across on this earth because you will receive back your heavenly name.

Thus, it makes no difference what city, town, or village you were born in or where you now live.  It makes no difference whether you are married or never been married.  It makes no difference whether you have a child or grandchild.  It makes no difference whether you have any education.  It makes no difference the amount of wealth you may have on this earth. 

That name will let you reach out and do things in the kingdom of God that He had planned for you before you came to this earth. 

You will know more about the Lord Jesus, the eternal God.  You will have knowledge of His secrets, some of which are hidden from the Angels. 

That is why you should set your affection on things above (Colossians 3: 2 – 4).

You want to thank the Lord Jesus that your heavenly name is waiting for you when you leave the earth.  You will be able to do things for the Lord for eternity that He had planned for you.  He is hiding you in Himself so that “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory”.

You will be blessed.

Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, September 18, 2022

We listened to a sermon titled “No Stopping It”,  CD # 1060, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

Many churches do not believe the Scriptures will be fulfilled.

Some people do not understand eternal life.  They don’t understand salvation very much.  But the Bible explains it is a bliss.  It is a wonderful place, nothing that ever wears out, it cannot wear out. 

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.

John 7: 38:  “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

The Scriptures cannot be broken.  They cannot be changed.

The Scriptures will be fulfilled, the Bible says.

There are signs in the religious world that the Bible predicted.  We can see the apostacy.  We can see the religious signs and the way they are moving to bring in dictators, and the falling away.

Signs in the physical world:  The weather, the great flood, famines.  There shall be great famines.  The famines will finally go into and conclude in the world food shortage during the great tribulation.  That’s where it is headed.

Pestilence:  There shall be pestilence with these earthquakes; all kinds of poisons and plagues.  Pestilence takes in poison; it takes in diseases; it takes in radiation.

Physical signs in earthquakes, in divers places.

Men will travel as a dove to its windows.  They will fly swiftly as a cloud.

Knowledge will increase with inventions.

The sign of the Jews headed for the homeland.  God said He will bring him back.  Israel will become a nation again, as a great sign, a timeclock to the Gentiles that time is running out. 

The development of the atomic bomb – the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.  A flame, it said in Joel, shall go before them and a beautiful garden of Eden is there, and afterwards, when you look back, nothing but a wilderness is left, after the fire and thunder gets through and the whirlwind leaves in there.  Joel 2: 3:  “A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:  the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.”

In one hour, great Babylon is left desolate.  Revelation 18: 19:  “And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness!  for in one hour is she made desolate.”

Science:  The Bible predicted the submarine in Amos 9: 2 – 3:  “Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:  And though they  hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them”.

The Radio – Ecclesiastes 10: 20:  “Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber:  for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter”.

Space platforms – Obadiah 1: 4:  “Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.”

The Automobile:  At the very coming of the Lord, just before the Lord comes, it will be by radar and electronic control computer.  These cars will be going down the highway and you can be talking and not driving and get off where you want by pushing a button.  The Bible says knowledge will increase.  They run like lightnings and seem like torches, that is electronics right there.  He saw one of the last cars at the end of the age, Nahum did. 

Nahum 2: 3 – 4:  “The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet:  the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.  The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways:  they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.”

Daniel 12: 4:  “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end:  many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

These signs did not take place in any other generation or any other time, of hundreds or thousands of years behind us, but these signs took place in our generation and our generation, Jesus will come.

Those who believe not all the prophets have spoken are fools.  Luke 24: 25:  “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken”.

Believe it all, every word that is in the Bible.  Believe it in your heart and you will have signs and wonders and miracles and a sound mind, saith the Lord.

In the Scriptures, ye have eternal life.  Search them saith the Lord, I’ll show you eternal life.

No use to put trust in the Scriptures unless you believe them.

Those who do not believe the Scriptures will not believe the Lord Jesus Christ.  His word is His name, and His name is the word, the Bible said.  You believe the word and you automatically have the Lord Jesus Christ; that is just how that is tied together.

Those who believe not the Old Testament will not believe the New Testament either.

Those who believe not the Scriptures will not believe a miracle.

Miracles come for two reasons:  Miracles come to point the people to a Supernatural God.  It also bears witness to a resurrection that will come.  The power of the miracles, because even sometimes, the dead that fall over are raised back again, things are created.  But the main two reasons are that they are given for signs among God’s people – that God is real, and the other sign, the miracles are given that if people who don’t believe them, their hearts will be hardened.

Unbelief will not prevent the fulfillment of God’s word.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but I’ll certainly see all will be fulfilled.  Matthew 24: 35:  “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

I started the sermon:

Some people do not understand eternal life.  They don’t understand salvation very much.  But the Bible explains it is a bliss.  It is a wonderful place, nothing that ever wears out, it cannot wear out. 

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.)

THE BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT – (When the spirit leaves the body, the soul and spirit become one)  The body carries the soul and the eternal spirit (Gift of deity) ignites the soul body with life, and it becomes a “living personality” of the spirit!  The body (flesh) often waring against the “spirit soul” which is the real you!  The elect body will be changed uniting soul and spirit together, (becoming Glorified)  Then all three stages of body, soul and spirit blend as “one”  The same as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost united together as “One”  (marvelous!)  (Read – I Cor. 15: 40-44).  (The soul is the personality connected to The Spirit)

THE CHOSEN NAME – GOD FOREKNEW US BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD! (Rev. 17: 8)  In (Rev. 2: 17) – It reads God will give His Elect a white stone and in the stone a “new name already written!”  And only you will know the name.  Hundreds of Scriptures can bare this out but it proves God foreknew His Elect and gave him a heavenly name hidden from the beginning.  And then upon the earth he was given an earthly name (Rev. 2: 17) shows that we will be given the original name also.  This definitely shows that He knows each of His Elect as personal as He does “Gabriel” His archangel!  And brothers and sisters that makes His Elect an important class of all ages!  He loves us and imprinted it in stone!  (Eph. 1: 4)  We were chosen in Him before the world!

This is what Brother Frisby said in a sermon titled “Divine Purpose And Great Secrets”, CD # 1401:

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 one else 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 that 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.  

I continued with the sermon:

You had an original name before you came to this earth.  The Lord has that heavenly name hidden for you and will give it back to you when He sees you. 

You have an earthly name which is not your real name.  You will shed your earthly name when you leave the earth. 

It makes no difference what you come across on this earth because you will receive back your heavenly name.

Thus, it makes no difference what city, town, or village you were born in or where you now live.  It makes no difference whether you are married or never been married.  It makes no difference whether you have a child or grandchild.  It makes no difference whether you have any education.  It makes no difference the amount of wealth you may have on this earth. 

Nothing on this earth makes any difference to your original name because the Lord will give back to you this same name that He has reserved for you from eternity.

This heavenly name is personal between you and the Lord.

That name will let you reach out and do things in the kingdom of God that He had planned for you before you came to this earth.  You will receive great secrets.  You will be introduced to things that you have never seen. 

You will know more about the Lord Jesus, the eternal God.  You will have knowledge of His secrets, some of which are hidden from the Angels. 

That is why you should set your affection on things above.  Colossians 3: 2:  “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

Here is one more thing the Lord is hiding for you.

Colossians 3: 3:  “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” 

The Lord Jesus is Christ; He is God (Isaiah 9: 6).  He is hiding with you in Himself. 

Why is the Lord hiding you in Himself?

The answer is in the next verse.  

Colossians 3: 4:  “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”

The Lord Jesus is hiding you in Himself so that when He appears at the time of translation, you will “also appear with him in glory”.  He is assuring you that you will be translated.

1 Thessalonians 4: 16 – 17:  “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:  and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:  and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

When we stand before the Lord, He will be looking at Himself in us because the elect spirits were part of Him before we came to this earth.  That is why He can grant you to sit next to Him on His throne, and you will there with Him for eternity. 

Revelation 3: 21:   “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne”.

John 10: 27 – 28:  “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

You want to thank the Lord Jesus that your heavenly name is waiting for you when you leave the earth.  You will be able to do things for the Lord for eternity that He had planned for you.  He is hiding you in Himself so that “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory”.
