Introduction
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”1 Peter 5: 7
The Lord Jesus cares for you. It means He is your personal caretaker. He is always with you, as He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are sealed with Him, as He is the Holy Spirit, until the moment of translation, which means your body will be changed into the glorified form. As you go about your daily life while waiting for the translation, you are hidden with Him inside of Him, as He is the mighty God. Hebrews 13: 5; Ephesians 1: 13 – 14; Colossians 3: 2 – 3; Isaiah 9: 6.
In the Bible, it said, for 4,000 years, His name was hidden. They went under titles, Lord, and God, and so forth like this, and different ones. And they would pray, you know, and He would answer them. And they would ask Him, what is Thy name? He said, my name is secret. Or what do you want to know for? It is secret. Then, after 4,000 years, the Lord came, and He revealed His name, Lord Jesus, to them, the One whom they had been praying. And He revealed His name.
It means the eternal God had a name throughout the Old Testament, but He chose not to reveal it. Genesis 32: 24 – 30; Exodus 3: 1 – 6, 13 – 14; Judges 13: 2 – 3, 6, 11, 17 – 18.
When the Lord was born as a child (Isaiah 9: 6), He had to reveal His name; “and thou shalt call his name JESUS”, who is “Christ the Lord”. Matthew 1: 21; Luke 1: 31; Luke 2: 11.
Now, you get your mind on how great He is, and how wonderful He is, and you’ll get more from Him.
The God of care is Jesus. My name is secret. It’s wonderful. And when that name begins to work for you, it’s beyond any kind of magic. It is all supernatural. He is the God of care.
People say, well, you know the Lord, mad at the sinner, mad at this. Well, that’s reserved. He’ll have some judgment. But Jesus did not come to condemn man. Did you know that? But when they reject His word, and they do not believe in what He said, they, saith the Lord, condemn themselves. He doesn’t do it. They do it themselves. He allows them to either take His word and believe it or turn around and disbelieve it. And when they do, they do all of it themselves.
The Lord Jesus tasted death for everyone, but He now leaves it to whosoever wants to believe in Him. Such a person will not perish but have eternal life. Hebrews 2: 9; John 3: 15.
In Romans 8: 28, And we know, it’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it, he said, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. All those things, they work for the good. We know there’s no mistake about it.
And we know that all things, Paul says, work together for good to them that love God. To those that what? That love God.
Do not pick and choose what you should thank the Lord for. Thank Him for everything that happens in your life, for all things work together for good to you. All things in your life are connected together by the Lord, and He works them all for your good. What we should be doing is to bless the Lord at all times and to let His praise continually be in our mouths. Psalm 34: 1.
You are the Lord’s elect; you are His bride. And unto them who will take my name will become my Bride. And unto her is given my Kingdom to rule with Me! For she has spiritually married me and has taken my name the Lord Jesus Christ, for she is My own, the very handy work of my spirit! For even now the time must shortly come when I will take her to My palace. I was God walking in the body of Jesus, walking the hot roads of Galilee, and gave rest to the weary! Healing the sick of Israel! I am your Lord let no man deceive thee! And there is no other God besides Me!
Thank you, Jesus.
You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon
We listened to a sermon titled “The Target”, CD # 1324, by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
Now, the title of this is The Target. Now, people tend to point their finger at God for all earth’s ills, the mishaps, and so forth. They want to blame the Lord. We don’t blame the Lord for the ills that have struck this earth. That came from another germ, and that germ is Satan. Even in a Christian’s life, if he lives real close to the Lord, you’ll be a target. Whether you did anything wrong or not, Satan will turn around and he’ll target you, trying to get back at God.
In the Bible, it said, for 4,000 years, His name was hidden. They went under titles, Lord, and God, and so forth like this, and different ones. And they would pray, you know, and He would answer them. And they would ask Him, what is Thy name? He said, my name is secret. Or what do you want to know for? It is secret. Then, after 4,000 years, the Lord came, and He revealed His name, Lord Jesus, to them, the One whom they had been praying. And He revealed His name.
We find out, society, lukewarm churches, they say, where is God’s mercy? Or God’s love and compassion, where is it? Where is His kindness? Where is His justice here? Where is His goodness? Where is all of this at? Does He care? And in 1 Peter 5: 7, it says, cast all your burdens upon Him. It says, He careth for you.
Now, Satan is causing all the trouble, and then he points the target towards God, and makes out like God is causing all the trouble. God is a good God. God is full of divine love.
They blame Him for disease, for famine, for the drugs, for the crime. They blame Him for the weather, and they blame Him for this, and they blame Him for all the starvation, and the things on the earth, and so forth. No, saith the Lord, it is their unbelief that has caused all of these things, and not the living God. It’s unbelief that has caused all of these problems upon the earth that we have, that leads into all type of sins, and doubts, and all things to reject God, to fight God actually, and all of these things, and so forth like that.
If you see somebody dying, somebody that’s going to hell, somebody out on the street, you better tell them about the Lord Jesus if He moves on you to do it.
Now, you think the Lord don’t love you. It’s just like Israel. He loves you even more under grace. He loves you as much as anybody. But the reason people don’t get more from the Lord, they start thinking He’s against them. And once you start doing that, that’s an argument nearly.
God couldn’t wait to tell Israel how much He loved them. Even before they went into captivity with such judgment, He couldn’t wait, what He would do for them afterwards.
In Jeremiah 33, 1 through about 15. And He says this before they left to go there. Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, so as to establish it. The Lord is His name.
Verse 3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not of. There’s three things here. I will answer thee. I will show thee great things. And I’ll show you things that you don’t even know anything about, that I’ll do for you.
And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor, talking about Israel, before all nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them. See, they’re going to see the judgment now, He says, but they’re going to see all the good I do unto them. And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto them. In a moment, they’re going to be desolate. They’re going to be desolate in a moment. But He couldn’t wait to tell them.
Thus saith the Lord; Again, there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man, without beast, even the cities of Judah and Jerusalem, are desolate without man, and without any kind of inhabitant, without beast.
Now, you get your mind on how great He is, and how wonderful He is, and you’ll get more from Him.
The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for His mercy endureth forever; and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of God. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at first, saith the Lord. He’s going to bring them back new now.
And then He leaps down in front of this, and He goes on down to the end of the age when they suffer something else. In those days, and at that time, I will cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David. That’s a root, offspring, here talking. And He shall execute judgment and righteousness of the land. That’s Jesus. That will come.
But God said, with this promise, I’m going to see that you get back because you cannot do it yourself. I’ll have a king that’ll be sitting there, and a prophet who will be greatly beloved. And that prophet that I send, he will send you home with his faith. He’ll bring you in. What did Daniel do? Under the threat of fire, and under the threat of lions, he stayed at that window. The good watchman. And because he stayed at that window three times a day for Israel to go home, and to honor the words of Jeremiah the prophet, he believed in what Jeremiah said. And he stayed there, and he sent them on home, God, on the prophet.
I don’t care what kind of a problem that you’ve got, or what kind of a problem that it is. He says, call unto me, and I will answer thee. I will show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. Don’t make any difference about your problems. He can’t wait to give the miracles, and the blessings, to the very elect that He’s coming for. He cannot wait. They’re couched in the Scriptures, yet they are in the Scriptures. And they are hidden in the Scriptures, but they are there. And He will make every promise true to those that believe. He has not forgotten one promise, and even more that’s not even written in the Bible. He will give you, that are yours. Not enough of space in this Bible for the Lord to tell you what He’ll do for you.
The God of care is Jesus. My name is secret. It’s wonderful. And when that name begins to work for you, it’s beyond any kind of magic. It is all supernatural. He is the God of care.
Isaiah 54: 10, For the mountains shall depart, and the hills shall be removed, and that’s true, that’ll happen, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
2 Chronicles 15: 7, Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your works shall be rewarded. Go forward, and by faith, and power, you’ll jump right over any kind of obstacles. There’ll be obstacles set up, but your hands, and your work, will be rewarded, and those obstacles, and whatever is in your way, you can jump right over those obstacles by faith.
People say, well, you know the Lord, mad at the sinner, mad at this. Well, that’s reserved. He’ll have some judgment. But Jesus did not come to condemn man. Did you know that? But when they reject His word, and they do not believe in what He said, they, saith the Lord, condemn themselves. He doesn’t do it. They do it themselves. He allows them to either take His word and believe it or turn around and disbelieve it. And when they do, they do all of it themselves.
Now, the world, towards the end of the age, they get worse at it. It finally, there comes a kind of a super dictator, and he begins to blast. What’s that guy going to do? Turn around, and said, Revelations 13, he blasts the tabernacle in heaven. He’s mad at the saints that got out of here, and he’s mad at God, and he tells the earth that that’s the devil up there and that he is God. That’s what the Bible said. They unite together, and they’ll start blaming the Lord God of heaven, they call Him the devil.
And the Bible said this, although God gives them a chance, it said they will not repent from their idols, and all of the things that they’re doing upon the earth, even after some of the plagues, they will not. But it said, they blame God for their problems, still, and will not ask Him for forgiveness.
The Bible said there’s coming a day of the Lord. And in that day of the Lord, He will have His counsel then. He will have His day in court. They’ve had theirs. Ever since the crucifixion, people have put Him on trial. People have pointed their finger at the Most High. Satan has caused them to point it at the Most High. For all the ills of the nations, they are blaming Him, but He will have the day of the Lord. When He freezes them all together, they find out who is the Great One, and the One that really cares for them. He’s going to show them who didn’t care for them, but the Lord really cares for them.
Satan tells them that he’s God, and he tells them that’s Satan.
After they get through blaming God in Revelations chapter 19, it says they actually join Satan and turn out to fight God. And He comes right down. And it just takes a moment, and that’s all. It’s all over with. Faster than you can probably think; the Lord just to get them to know that He is there. In Revelation, before the ending of the chapter, it tells you they joined together, blaming God, and going up to fight God.
In Romans 8: 28, And we know, it’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it, he said, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. All those things, they work for the good. We know there’s no mistake about it.
And we know that all things, Paul says, work together for good to them that love God. To them who are called according to His purpose, and predestinated down in there, and so forth like that. To those that what? That love God. For those that won’t give up their love. For those that continue to believe, against all odds, and they continue to believe in the Lord with all of their heart. It all works together for good, saith the Lord.
Peter said in the Bible, think it not strange that this fire trial would try you.
God is good. God’s the one that loves you. And if you can hold that thing in your heart, and I know sometimes it might be hard, concerning your test, concerning your problems. You say, how does this happen? Only Jesus can do it, can cause things to work together for good to them that love God. That’s the key to it; only Jesus can do it.
And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Exodus 33: 14.
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge of understanding. Proverbs 2: 6.
In the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: In the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me. Psalms 27: 5.
Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee. Psalms 50: 15.
In the secret of the tabernacle. He said, when you pray in secret, you will be rewarded openly. Matthew 6, verse 5 through 7. When you go in your closet, and pray in secret, I will reward thee openly.
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight. Isaiah 45: 2. You’ll be able to see around the bend. He will guide you in, and He will guide you out. He will guide you over, He will guide you under, but He will guide you.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healings, with healing in His wings. Malachi 4: 2. Jesus, yesterday, today, and forever, the same. He’s rising with His great healings.
He healeth the broken heart. Not only that, He bindeth up their wounds. They’ve got a broken heart, but it remains a wound to them. He not only heals the broken heart, He takes that wound, and He binds up the wounds of this life. And this life, you’re liable to get many wounds from the daggers of Satan. He’ll heal those up for you too.
Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil, of what anything Satan can put upon you there. Proverbs 1: 33. He said, I will safely be with you.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, it’s going to be true, but my words shall not pass away. Matthew 24: 35. All the heavens and earth will change into something different one of these days. But then there will be a new earth and a new heavens, and it will all pass away. But never will His word be changed, never will His word be forgotten, because, saith the Lord, what I spoke it, it’s eternal, it’s not man, it is a living God. Everything that Satan said will be forever gotten finally. All tears will be wiped away, but not one word, or jot or tittle of that word, will pass away, but will remain with us in eternity,
Cast not away therefore your confidence. Cast not away, therefore, your faith in the word, and the promises of the word, and you’ll be there.
He can’t wait to tell us what He’s going to do for us.
Scripture Reading
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”1 Peter 5: 7
The Lord Jesus cares for you. It means He is your personal caretaker. He is always with you, as He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are sealed with Him, as He is the Holy Spirit, until the moment of translation, which means your body will be changed into the glorified form. As you go about your daily life while waiting for the translation, you are hidden with Him inside of Him, as He is the mighty God.
“for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”Hebrews 13: 5
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”Ephesians 1: 13 – 14
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”Colossians 3: 2 – 3
“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.”Isaiah 9: 6
In the Bible, it said, for 4,000 years, His name was hidden. They went under titles, Lord, and God, and so forth like this, and different ones. And they would pray, you know, and He would answer them. And they would ask Him, what is Thy name? He said, my name is secret. Or what do you want to know for? It is secret. Then, after 4,000 years, the Lord came, and He revealed His name, Lord Jesus, to them, the One whom they had been praying. And He revealed His name.
It means the eternal God had a name throughout the Old Testament, but He chose not to reveal it.
“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”Genesis 32: 24 – 30
“Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.”Exodus 3: 1 – 6
“And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”Verse 13 – 14
“And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.”Judges 13: 2 – 3
“Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name”Verse 6
“And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.”Verse 11
“And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour? And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?”Verse 17 – 18
When the Lord was born as a child (Isaiah 9: 6), He had to reveal His name; “and thou shalt call his name JESUS”, who is “Christ the Lord”.
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”Matthew 1: 21
“And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.”Luke 1: 31
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”Luke 2: 11
Now, you get your mind on how great He is, and how wonderful He is, and you’ll get more from Him.
The God of care is Jesus. My name is secret. It’s wonderful. And when that name begins to work for you, it’s beyond any kind of magic. It is all supernatural. He is the God of care.
People say, well, you know the Lord, mad at the sinner, mad at this. Well, that’s reserved. He’ll have some judgment. But Jesus did not come to condemn man. Did you know that? But when they reject His word, and they do not believe in what He said, they, saith the Lord, condemn themselves. He doesn’t do it. They do it themselves. He allows them to either take His word and believe it or turn around and disbelieve it. And when they do, they do all of it themselves.
The Lord Jesus tasted death for everyone, but He now leaves it to whosoever wants to believe in Him. Such a person will not perish but have eternal life.
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”Hebrews 2: 9
“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”John 3: 15
In Romans 8: 28, And we know, it’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it, he said, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. All those things, they work for the good. We know there’s no mistake about it.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”Romans 8: 28
And we know that all things, Paul says, work together for good to them that love God. To those that what? That love God.
Do not pick and choose what you should thank the Lord for. Thank Him for everything that happens in your life, for all things work together for good to you. All things in your life are connected together by the Lord, and He works them all for your good. What we should be doing is to bless the Lord at all times and to let His praise continually be in our mouths.
“I WILL bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”Psalm 34: 1
You are the Lord’s elect; you are His bride.
I read from Scroll # 35:
“Behold what I have spoken about the water is true! What I have spoken about my name is true! It is I the Lord Jesus which has spoken unto my people the Bride! And unto them who will take my name will become my Bride. And unto her is given my Kingdom to rule with Me! For she has spiritually married me and has taken my name the Lord Jesus Christ, for she is My own, the very handy work of my spirit! For even now the time must shortly come when I will take her to My palace. Watch! I say watch! — Behold now is the end of the age come! And I will reveal hidden manna! I was God walking in the body of Jesus, walking the hot roads of Galilee, and gave rest to the weary! Healing the sick of Israel! I am your Lord let no man deceive thee! And there is no other God besides Me! Behold I have hidden myself in Jesus in such away that the foolish virgins and the world can not see Me, Until the time that I shall reveal it, but My Elect was born to believe it and another they will not hear I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, YEA A MANS HAND HAS NOT WRITTEN THIS, BUT THE HAND OF POWER THE LORD OF HOST HAS WRITTEN IT!
Thank you, Jesus.
You will be blessed.
