Spiritual Mobilization-Zero Hour Neal Frisby’s Sermon CD #986B 2-1-84 (PM)
1.We are going to start here tonight, and it’s Spiritual Mobilization-Zero Hour. We will televise this for the people and someday I will release it, and you can get it on videocassette perhaps soon, as we get through this. And listen real close to this, and we will see what the Lord has now. First, I am going to read some magazine news. I rewrote some of it, some of it in the news and some of it in magazines. Let us begin to listen. You know, we are in a time, an era, that will never return again like this, and our time is running out. It’s like a vapor, and I have a scripture to read. In fact, let me read it like this James 4:14, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow [only through the gift of prophecy, and only through prophetic utterance will anybody know]. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” Isn’t that a perfect description? And you know, when our bodies are dissolved, we are a vapor. They are just a little bit of gas and smoke, smoke like that. So perfectly described! And on the world scene, no one but the real child of the Lord really knows what lies ahead because the Lord reveals it to them and He reveals the times, and He reveals seasons, not the exact day and hour of the translation. But He reveals to them His nearness, His closeness, but those in the world, they stumble in darkness.
2.And I am going to read a little bit here, and see what they see, what the situation is. Now, the world situation grows more dangerous each moment. I think the atomic scientist set the clock up a little closer. Nothing swayed them so far. The doom, they said, is around the corner. Somebody said, “Well, is that all you can preach on? It’s in the bible. And every once in a while, we preach on faith, power, love, and joy, and all of those things. But He said there must be a warning to warn the people, or the blood will be required upon your hand. So, we preach it. Now, ours is a crisis decade. In fact, it is a crisis century, I think, for the Battle of Armageddon before it’s finished and I believe that is the generation before it ends in that time there, we will see, probably entering the millennium on up in there. God has all of the answers. My opinion and divine inspiration has told me it is very close and getting closer all the time. Now, the nuclear age is here. The invasion, space war, makes every part of the world an open attack. Any moment, the world’s situation may explode into war, unloosening nightmarish weapons against a helpless humanity. Most cannot even defend themselves. This is in the news, too. And they talk about it much of the time, and all the news broadcasts, and the newspapers, what’s taking place here. And there will come a time when it will look like, oh, they solved all the problems. All these preachers, they were preaching doom, and all the newscasts used to tell us about atomic war; why, it looks like everything’s going to be all right. You know, it’s been going on quite a while now, you know, a year or two and we have peace, we are reigning with peace. But the Bible said suddenly destruction should come upon them, that underneath the enemy is laying plans to destroy the earth. And after maybe seven years, three and a half, four, seven years, there is peace, but then it said it turns into annihilation nearly, and destruction.
3.So we find out, America has never been in greater peril. America has never been in the deeper slumber that we are in now in the United States, and all of the world. Living luxuriously, pleasure-mad, whatever they want, they get, people have grown soft. They resent being aroused. They do not want to be woken up. Anybody that wakes them up, they are liable to shoot back. How many of you can say, amen? You try to warn somebody and tell them about the Lord Jesus, oh, some will scoff and walk off, probably on the streets. I don’t know, I am not out there doing it anymore. My ministry is more contained in books and literature, and in auditoriums, and so forth like that, radio, television, different things, audio. But nevertheless, I can imagine some will listen to you and then walk on, others, you may win to the Lord Jesus Christ. And some of them, like I say, they resent, don’t tell them anything about the Lord or what’s coming. But it is coming and they are foolish. And you tell them about the destruction, you tell them about what the prophecy says, about what the prophet said, and about what the Lord says about the end of the age, and how to prepare. But you see, they are foolish, wishful thinking, and complacent. They say it just can’t happen, especially in the good old United States. It just can’t happen. Well, the bible says it will. amen?
4.And what I have seen from the Lord in the night visions that God revealed to me early in the ministry, destruction will come. It will not delay, but the appointed time, it shall come. But first, outpouring and revival on the earth as God gathers them away under His wings before the nightmare comes and it will surely come. So we find out, it will happen. Our only escape is a spiritual awakening. Now, we race against catastrophe. What we do, we must do before the zero hour strikes doom. All our cherished freedoms are at stake. Men know this, see, right around the corner. Some of them know about God, and some of them don’t know very much, but they see how late it is, you see, it’s at stake. If we lose, we will lose for keeps. No winners in this, see, except the Christian that loves God. We mobilize our military potential to the ultimate, we must defend. Sometimes they overdo it, and they create war. What folly is failing to mobilize our spiritual resources at the same time with even more seriousness, with even more determination than our weapons! To be determined, let’s mobilize all of our spiritual resources. America needs to be saved, amen? Some of it is, and some of it isn’t. There’s still millions and many more people, scores of people that are out among the nation that God will call in. Yes, and He will convert them, and He will save them, and He will go beyond that, He will give them a new body. He will heal them. He will work a miracle as they believe in Him. He is all-powerful, He is the all-powerful God to those who believe He is, and He will do that. So we find out our only escape is a spiritual awakening. So we must mobilize all of these things.
5.We must awake, and we must act now according to the prophet. Arise, awake thyself, and those that are ease in Zion, shake thyself, for the time has come. Now, the Christian’s responsibility in the critical days ahead, planet Earth is in a crisis condition. No one can deny that; they’d have to be asleep. There are hot spots, deep holes, and the world [nations] are vying with one another for the headlines. Wars, revolutions, and all these things that were predicted years ago are taking place. The world’s atmosphere is very explosive. Anytime war can break out in eight or ten more nations, even more so in Africa, in the Middle East, in South America, right across from our borders. But people are sleeping, you see. But it is the time to mobilize; it’s zero hour. There will be a quick, short, powerful move, as prophecy indicates, before the end of the age. But it is no time for Christians to be in despair. They should be in joy and happy that they can do something for the Lord, that they can pray, and that they can seek the face of God, and His hand will move with them. He will not only bless them, but He will answer their prayers, and they shall be saved, amen? That’s exactly right. They shouldn’t be in hopelessness or in despair at all, like the world. In fact, some Christians, sometimes they will walk around, I don’t know, you are out there more than I am. Sometimes you see it across the platform, I mean, some people, they are in despair. I really realize that but others, when there’s nothing wrong at all, their face looks like a funeral, boy, what a testimony! I don’t know how that got in there. Praise the Lord, I am going to the Uppertaker, amen, into heaven. Glory to God! But some are really, when they are in despair, I make fun of nobody, they are suffering. Sure, that’s true. But when there is nothing wrong with anybody, they will find something to be in despair. But you want to be happy, amen, and glorious. Like it is said, with those that are sad, pray with them and so forth like that. You get the point, don’t you? I have no more time to explain it. A great spiritual awakening, it shouldn’t be in despair or any of these types of things.
6.But through faith and prayer, a great spiritual awakening will break upon the world. It is not an impossibility, but it is very probable and it will occur. Let us give ourselves to meet the conditions. And most of all, let us seek and pay the price that it takes, submission to God, listening to the voice of the God, and being in the power of the Lord when it is poured out. He will do great things for the individual, yes, little old you or anybody else. Right now, it is an hour where He is really looking for all of those that will listen and all of those that pray with faith. He is going to use them to save people, to reach on and turn back the satanic kingdoms and prevent doom, cast it away for a little while till He brings those others in. It is the prayers of the Christians that’s holding back Russia. It is the prayers right now of the Christians that’s stopping Armageddon. It is the prayers now that’s hindering that the antichrist does not rise. God knows the hour. But finally, when they are in, and the church and the ones that God has called, the elect, and brought them into salvation, then it will be just like wiping the screen away. It will be over with, see, in translation, then into the great tribulation, into Armageddon, so forth like that.
7.Now we get to this, did you know we got a moment here and some more? It is time to really reach out and seek the Lord. Remember, James said, life is like a vapor. You don’t know what’s on the morrow–only what God tells you in prophecy, the Christians–and it vanishes, and it just goes away. So this is a time now, never in the history of the world has God’s hand been out like it is out now. Just a moment’s look at Him, and He will reach for you and catch you just like that and His salvation is heavy upon the earth. It is poured out upon all flesh and upon the earth. He is really dealing with His people. What a time to join the Christian ranks and be in the army of God, and because His weapons are spiritual, amen, they work! Now, listen to this: What was real estate worth in Sodom and Gomorrah one minute after midnight, in zero hour, when it went up in a fiery holocaust? It was very valuable, all of the trade routes and unions, all of them came in there. All the real estate was very expensive at that time, but what was it worth one minute after midnight when the angels came through and left? At midnight hour, I don’t care whether that was noon, night or what, it was a midnight hour, it was zero hour. One minute later, there wasn’t anything left. You can’t even touch it today. Just chemicals in there, amen? No real estate left, but just around there. Now see, so today, what about all of the treasures of the earth and what we’ve got here? In one hour, in one hour, the whole earth, that was one spot, one minute, but in one hour, the bible said in the book of Revelation chapter 18, in one hour, she’s laid waste and almost desolate across the world at that time, and the real estate and all that’s within it. See, think about the Lord Jesus. Think about the things of the Lord. Put them first in your mind, and He will add all of these things that you need.
8.Now, God has set a time in cycle seasons, He has set times, Ecclesiastes chapter 3 will tell you all about that. In the Old Testament, in the New Testament, or in our age, there are cycles. There are cycles of apostasy. They run through the Old Testament. In certain years, apostasy. Certain times would be revival. Certain times, prophets would appear. Certain times, false prophets would appear. And there are cycles of apostasy; we are crossing now in some cycles of apostasy. It will only cross once or twice more and in between that there will be a translation and in between the other, after will be the battle of Armageddon. See, we are crossing on the lines and then there are cycles of sin where it will reach its height one time, slow down, and it will reach a height. It’s kind of like you are keeping the inflation on a monitor. It goes and it goes, and they try to restrain it. And sin will reach a certain peak, and it will kind of level off a little bit, and then it will reach higher in there. It’s called cycles of sin and each time, they go deeper, and they go on and on. Now, these sins will come back again stronger, back and forth in the age. The last one will be the horrible great tribulation. There are cycles of this and we have watched it. The people, especially those who are up in their 60s, 70s, or maybe up in their 80s here can look back when they were young and they can see those different cycles coming and how the change would come, and the immorality, and just keep going. Well, it’s going to keep going until it crosses over in there, and they are really going to get set on fire. How many of you believe that? That’s right.
9.There are all kinds of cycles. I am going to touch on some of them right here. They are crossing these lines in the late 80s, too. Many things are going to take place. There are cycles of famine that were in the Old Testament, and there are cycles of famine now beginning to cross, and horrible conditions all across the earth. It’s like the full horse of the apocalypse is riding on one-fourth of the earth, nearly. It is laid bare, and it will grow worse later in the age and onto the great tribulation, the Bible said. And the cycles of these famines crossed; it’s the famine hour, zero hour for food, and it will begin to cross more and more as it goes on up. Then we have the crossing of volcanic cycles, where it volcanoes, the earth heats up. This was predicted to come 10, 15 years before it ever started, the weather patterns predicted to change like they were through the gift of prophecy that we give on the scrolls, books, and literature. And it took place just like God revealed it would. We have the volcanic cycles, the eruption, the warning of weather patterns changing, and so forth like that. You know, volcanoes heating up the atmosphere. I think the world has high blood pressure, don’t you? It’s ready for a stroke. The earth is reeling and rocking back and forth, stroking, see? And it will have its time, zero hour. See, it’s time for us to mobilize all of our spiritual senses and to get on the wings of God and allow Him to lead us how to do this and how to bring the people in, and the Lord’s hand will save them. Amen. He’s got His people.
10.So we find out the cycles, there’s economic cycles. Now they are in trillions of dollars of different deficits in the age and the decades and one of the biggest now, see. Somewhere that is going to be paid for, somewhere that will create more inflation, somewhere that will create another economic crisis. And there’s cycles of booms and cycles of prosperity. We are going into some prosperity just like it was predicted, but later on up in the age, something else will occur in crises again, see, as it heads towards the antichrist system. So we see these cycles of the 80s of depression, cycles of prosperity, cycles of boom, and then cycles again of a type of economic crisis and so forth like that. Then there are cycles of restoration, jubilee! Amen. How many of you believe that? Cycles in between, He works real good. And then there’s cycles where it will be a great outpouring. There will be more than a revival then, there will be restoration among the people and He will restore. He will actually create anything that’s gone, should you believe, because He restored like in the book of Acts, in the power of God. So we have cycles of restoration, cycles of power, cycles of outpouring. We are going to be entering another cycle and when we do, God will move. It may be near some of the booms and going into some of the other crises, but it will come. It’s a great outpouring and it’s coming to His people.
11.And the Old Testament bears this out in its cycles. In the New Testament and also in our age, the cycle changed slightly. Nevertheless, they are there. God, moving with the Gentiles, is slightly different than what He did with the Hebrews in the Old Testament, but the cycles are there. See, how many of you know we’ve been in different cycles of apostasy? And the United States keeps going into more apostasy. Look at the relations overseas and what just happened in the religious world. See, the cycles of apostasy coming. We see that not only that, but all over in different things besides the one thing that we have here. Do we have the antichrists with ‘s” on its cycles? Now, Adolf Hitler rose, was the type of the antichrist, had a Messiah complex. You see, then we had the Caesars that rose. Napoleon rose for a while with that kind of complex and you’d go through the ages and begin to pick them out. Those were types of antichrist arising upon the earth, all through the earth and then all of the kingdoms that rose up. Now it is entering not only the cycle of the antichrist, you know, they have false cults, they have false prophets and different things that are coming like that. It’s cycles that we are dealing in there and right now the cycle, not just of the antichrists with “s” but it is definitely the cycle of the son of perdition, the cycle of the antichrist world leader. Now it is coming into that cycle. We’ve had seven such cycles according to the book of Revelation chapter 13 and the book of Daniel chapters 7 and 8 where each head up on the mountain was a world empire, Egypt, and then there was Assyria, then there was Babylon, that’s three heads there. Media, Persia, Alexander, the Great, moving into Rome and coming on up into our age, there are seven heads and the eighth one changes from the seventh, which is of the seven and becomes the end and there’s the antichrist. Those are your cycles through the history of the antichrist heads. But this is the antichrist head, the seventh. He will change and be the eighth in the middle of the tribulation. Exactly right! Read it; Revelation chapter 13, it will tell you all about it. You don’t have to take my word for it. Those are the cycles and the last cycle of that antichrist now is about to rise, and he is moving and it’s on the earth. We have quake cycles that are across the earth, and they are going to heat up in the later 80s again with severe earthquakes and some great earthquakes will happen up there.
12.I want to read something here. After all of these, what do we do? Well, we believe in God and we are not in despair, and we know God is with us, amen, and He will help His children. Now, this is serious, but I will tell you what, if I wanted somebody to warn me, I wouldn’t want them to halfway warn me and then not make it. I’d want him to warn me exactly as the bible said, warn me exactly as the gift of prophecy says to warn them in the spirit of prophecy. Amen. We find out to fight the good fight of faith. Let’s prepare. It says here he that would be ready and holy waiting for God must fight. He must fight a war, a good warfare (1Timothy 1:18). He must fight the good fight of faith though not with carnal weapons that will not stand up against satan (Timothy 6:12). He must fight upon his knees, being sober, watching in prayer. He must wrestle with principalities and powers and defeat them, being strong in the Lord and the power of His might having put on the whole armor of God, the girdle, the breastplate, the shield, the helmet, the sword (Ephesians 6:13). He is ready then, can you say amen? Satan has to back off. Then we find out here, and with the anticipation of the sevenfold reward to him that overcometh, Revelation chapter 2 and chapter 3 and it begins to reveal that. The sevenfold reward is revealed and received by the manifold wisdom of God to His church. They will understand a message like this. Did you know that? And the hour that we live in and the day that we live in, we must fight the good fight of faith, believing in our heart. And I believe in my heart that multitudes are still going to come to Christ. You say, what if there was only a month left? Multitudes would still come to Christ. You say, what if there was a year left? Multitudes will come to Christ, two years, three or whatever that the Lord allows us, one week. It makes no difference. Multitudes are going to come to the Lord and He is going to bless them. See, we are in the hour, not only that, but we are in the sevenfold blessings of the Lord that produce a sevenfold reward in His manifold wisdom.
13.Revelation chapter 4, right after John was caught up in a trumpet-like, was a type of the translation. He was around the throne, a beautiful rainbow, an emerald. There he stood, one sat, crystal, looked all around there. He was caught up before seven lamps of fire, seven powers of God that demonstrate among the church and manifesting to the church. At the end of the age, when the Lord begins to move across the earth, His eyes run back and forth throughout the earth to see who is who and what is what and what to do and what He is going to do. And in that sevenfold power and all of that might is like a threefold cord; it cannot be broken. And when He begins to move, I can guarantee you He is going to get His children. Nothing, no wall, no mountain can stand in His way. He will pull them out of the highway. He will pull them out of the bars. He will pull them out of the hospitals. He will pull them out of factories. He will pull them out of the streets. He will pull them out of different lukewarm churches, dead churches. He will pull them out to His body. He will bring them unto Himself.
14.We are in zero hour. I remember just before the flood, Enoch, the great prophet, warned, Noah warned. See it there? And there was a great rustling of the Holy Spirit to warn. And then Sodom and Gommorha, angels were taken and went into Sodom, began to warn at nighttime. Now at the end of the age, the Lord overlooking the Pillar of Fire, the same way angels are among us, angels are gathering His people. My, I want to be in on this, amen? I want to mobilize! These forces are here! The Lord reveals to my heart, they are all around us, but you must receive them into your heart. God’s principalities and powers and the power of the Holy Spirit will begin to work with you, but you must not turn loose of the Lord. Hold on to the Lord. And all of this help is all around us at the beck and call of those that trust in the Lord. If every nation needs to be prayed for and all the world too, this nation now, for I do believe a great outpouring one last time, God will warn His people. I want to be involved, and I want to help all of those that are of the harvest, and I believe that the Lord is definitely going to bring them in. Do you? Because look, atomic scientists moved the clock. Nothing has been able to halt it, it seems they are getting closer all of the time. So, we are living in the hour where it said perilous times, revolutions will come. The antichrist will ride, false leaders over the earth will come too. We will see all kinds of things upon this earth that’s going to take place. What I want to do right now is to add a five-minute broadcast bringing out some real prophecy and what is just ahead. A news commentator and myself got together on this. God bless your heart. He will touch you. Give the Lord a hand clap! Praise the Lord! Amen.
FIVE-MINUTE BROADCAST
