TRANSLATION ALERT 146The Word Or Delusion Neal Frisby’s Sermon CD #889 4-14-82 (PM)
You love Jesus tonight? He’s really great, isn’t He? You know, I talk better with my head down, don’t I? It kind of blocks me from being so strong. It’s wonderful. Jesus is wonderful. All right, I am going to pray for you tonight and I believe Jesus is going to touch you, don’t you? “I am touching them now.” Oh my! You believe that? Nothing like that’s prepared. It has to… See, I will tell you how some of that works. There is a kind of like a drop and a release and it’s like it’s you, but you know it’s not, because you’re trained by the Holy Spirit. And as you are in the ministry for quite a while, you can tell when He drops something to the audience easily, but you have to be in it every day and soon you learn those things. And as the Bible teaches about the gifts of the Spirit and the power of the Holy Spirit, you begin to know how the Lord works. And it’s just like it says in the Bible, but the people don’t attune their mind or concentrate strong enough on these things to really understand them. Lord, give us understanding tonight and all these people here tonight, just like you said, the Holy Spirit is touching them, amen, and every avenue of their life. Some people have different problems than other people. Some people are praying about different things than other people and some people want different things than other people. You know what they all are tonight and you are beginning to touch and every one of those that has just a little spark of faith, you are beginning to move in their life. You are taking their life over too and you are going to guide them. Not a one, not a one of those that love you, will you fail them and not a one of them will fail. In the finality, you will get those you have called. Amen. Isn’t that wonderful? Give the Lord a handclap! Praise the Lord Jesus! You know, you go ahead and be seated.
1.Bless your hearts. Well, it’s wonderful. I just finished about 12 more programs…. And we are talking quite a bit about the translation. Plus, we got over there on salvation and how the Lord works and he [interviewer] asked me different questions. I told him salvation was before the beginning of the world, before the foundations of the world. Of course, that’s puzzling to people. But how many of you realize before this earth was even put here, before the foundations of the world, in other words, put in here where we are at, that the Lord had a plan to redeem His people because He foresaw the falling of satan? How many of you know that? Why, certainly, and He foresaw that Lucifer would be cast out and when He did, in His plan, He decided, and He would bring the earth here and put the people on the earth. He knew they would fall. Some people, see, try to limit God and say, “Well, He didn’t know they’d fall.” Then, we don’t have no God. He is God, He knows all things and He plans all things well. And like I said before, it’s kind of hard to tell people all about that now, but when they get there and it’s all explained to them, they will say, “Boy, that’s right.” You see, it’s like a hidden mystery. And so we know this, that before the foundation of the world He had salvation planned to redeem back those that were tainted by sin and what happened in the garden. He knew what was coming and He is a great Redeemer. As I said, you know, he is trying to say, well, what about all these problems around us and all these horrible things that’s going on? Mankind, and it just looked like, you know, so much sickness and so many wars, so many things like that. Well, the Lord is trying to show us something. He has a master plan and what He is trying to show us is that man cannot do it himself. Now, if we were angels, you see, then we wouldn’t have to go by faith. But He created somebody at the same time that would believe by faith. Now, that’s what He is trying to do. If He made us believe Him, forced us to believe Him, in other words, put it in our heart to believe anyway without us trying, we’d be like the angels. But He put somebody here that had a mind that they could have a free will, a free mind to think, you see. He knows His predestined. He knows the ones that have faith and He knows the one that will hold on to that faith. So in His plan, I know it sounds harsh, we see so many things happening to people on every side. Why did He ever put people on the earth? But the only way they could do it, we have to believe. He wants a person to come to Him like that. So in His plan, He is trying to show the earth and the people of the earth that they cannot, no matter how hard they try…. And for about three or four years, sometimes it looks like they are going to succeed, but it doesn’t happen. And He is showing the people that they cannot, they cannot survive without Him. He is the very Essence. And we can’t get along without Him. In the finality, men will fail. How many of you believe that tonight? So in His master plan, that’s why we see all these things happening. But He is still holding to His key to the believer, that we will believe Him with our heart, without being an angel, or created just to worship Him, like it says, the cherubim, “Holy, holy, holy.” He created us that we have a mind that we must reach out by faith. And you know, if you have faith, it’s just like that He forced you, didn’t He? Amen. There’s the key. Once you get that faith to work, God is with you in such a powerful way. You don’t get away from Him, that faith begins to move by power.
2.And it’s good spirit here tonight when we come here. I don’t know how it is going to end tonight, but I’ve got to tell you. This began to come to me in prayer. If you are new, listen to this real close, it will really help you, because satan will put a stumbling block in front of you. And I was praying quite a while back one time, and He gave me several things to tell the people. I told you about it, and I forgot which sermon it is and I got to thinking of some one or two of those things that I didn’t quite get in, and one of the sermons was very important. And I was praying, you know, and trying to remember which sermon and what it was. I went back through some markings in the bible here, I have my bible marked up. And the best I can figure about it, it goes with something like this and I kind of noticed too, and I want to bring it to you tonight. And it’s just going to be little words here and there, and then I am going to pray for some of you. Because after doing those 12 programs, I just feel like doing it this way. And you think about subjects, every subject that you ever thought of, we are going to get on there. Like I say, I think there’s eight more broadcasts before you will see it, seven or eight and then we go into the newer broadcasts there. And our man came in here, he had to be sent by God because the questions that he wanted to know and ask couldn’t have come any other way. And the time he sits here, the asthma that’s in the air had his eyes just watering. I don’t force people; he knows what I believe in. He sees me on television; he’s heard me on radio somewhat. And he sat down there, and he came in here, and he had a watch. He used to work for CBS. And then he showed me a little stopwatch we are going to use here as he sits down there…. And about the fifth or sixth broadcast, the power of God was so powerful, it just started breaking that stuff, and it just started coming everywhere in his eyes. I knew what was happening. He said, “My, this stuff. He said, “It’s really breaking up here, isn’t it?” See, it’s power. How many of you believe that? I just went on about my business, and he had to stop one of the broadcasts to get it all out of there. He’s wonderful, isn’t He? And, you know, I just said, power, you can keep that, power will work.
3.Now, listen to this, The Word or Delusion. How many of you know that? It will either be the Word, believing in God’s promises, or it will be delusion. Now, I am going to jump around a little bit here tonight. I don’t know if this will be on cassette or not. We will just wait and see here. And we will leave it like it is because it may not be long enough. And I began to pray, and while I was, it went, and we preached a little bit on this. But satan steals the promises, he steals the faith, the bible said, immediately. He doesn’t lose any time. Immediately, he cometh, immediately. Now, watch this right here. Jesus told me, and He revealed this to me, among numerous things that cause people to fall, and the Lord began to deal with me. Satan has a way of doing things, he tries to get the Christians to watch those people who have received salvation, you know, and they claim salvation and he gets them to watch others. That’s his plan real quick, he cometh immediately, see? And he works on that one, and he works on the one he’s going to bother by other things that are coming with him, he brings forces, see? And when he does, he tries to get the good Christian, he tries to get the Christians to watch somebody that’s slipping and somebody that’s not doing so well and they are beginning to slip away or leaving God. Then he will get them into watching somebody that had a wonderful healing and then the Lord either attacks them on something else, or they’re kind of losing their healing. And if he [satan] can get them to watch that, he’s got them. Now, if you take your mind and your eyes off of the Word of God and the promises–you are supposed to seal them eternally in your heart–if you do [take your mind and eyes off of God’s promises], you are going to fall. You are going to lose yourself, and you are going to lose the victory. By watching with your eyes and looking at others, you will lose the victory. The Lord Himself told me that’s one of the greatest weapons that satan uses. He cometh immediately when somebody receives the Word of God with joy, as soon as that person is there, he begins to deal and as they go along, he begins to work. And then he gets the Christians, you see, the same way and he begins to work on them and when he does, then he destroys their faith.
4.Never look to other people for your faith. Looking for them to help pray with you or to pray for you is fine. But don’t leave entirely up to them just on their faith, have your own faith. Because if you don’t start your own faith of power, then you are going to go looking at others that you thought had a tremendous amount of faith and salvation and when they fail God, you will fail God. Amen? But when you have your own confidence, this doesn’t mean that somebody can’t pray with you in prayer. You can ask somebody to pray with you, you can ask me to pray with you, but it does mean this, depending on your own forces with God and your own power with the Lord. Even if it’s a weak faith, it’s better than the other way. How many of you know that? Why, certainly. And when you do, you see, when you begin to watch the faith, and people begin to lose their salvation, or they are beginning to lose their healing, you get your eyes then off of the promises, and then you begin to doubt. Now, satan really moves into this. What happened to the disciples? Right there God gives you a message when they begin to look around at the Pharisees and begin to see what was happening to Jesus just before He went to the cross, we begin to see that. Then look at this, the apostle, Peter, was walking on the waves, he got his eyes off of the Lord, “Wherefore didst thou doubt?” How many of you can say amen to that? I mean, “Wherefore didst thou doubt?” You see, when you look around to others, you begin to doubt exactly what Jesus meant. “Oh, ye of little faith.” And you must keep your mind and your heart on the Lord. I’m not just talking about this to be just for this church. No. Because whatever I do eventually, one way or the other, it will be spoken again, or something goes all over the country and different parts of the world. And what I am telling those people is, in their churches, in their meeting places, keep your eye on what the Word says and on the promises of God, never mind about people.
5.The Lord brings this to me now, you remember, the same apostle, Peter, was walking along and he said, “Lord, how about the one that leans on your breast here, John?” You remember that? And He told him, “Keep your eyes off of John.” He said, “Keep your mind on your own, because you’ve got plenty of problems.” Did you know that? He said, “Now, here you are wanting to go out here and fish, you want to leave my sheep.” See? That means for the people to get their mind off others and feed His sheep, feed His sheep, feed His sheep. Can you say amen? That shows action there. And the Lord said, “What do you care if I let him live until I come again? It’s none of your business.” Do you know what the Lord meant there? He was going to see John again when he came to the isles of Patmos. Some believe that, you know, John would stay alive until the Lord comes and all of that. I believe that Jesus did come again. He was transfigured in the lightning. He stood in those seven golden candlesticks. John saw Him in a form of God, He saw Him in every form, and he looked in the book of Revelation. So, truly the saying came true. “Until I come again,” meant when He comes again in His glory on the Isles of Patmos. Years and years later, He came again to John and not the rest of the disciples in that manner, He came to John on the island of Patmos. But what He was meaning was even if He left him here until He comes again in the translation, it’s nobody’s business but the Lord. Amen? And if he’s still here, that’s His business. I don’t care about it. But I believe this, it was on the isles of Patmos. I also believe that John is with the Lord.
6.So, right away we see the Lord uses certain apostles to show us that because they will steal your victory. People may sit next to you and steal your victory. Satan, it says, cometh immediately, he loses no time, so you don’t lose any time either. Immediately, you hold to the promises of God. And if you are new, expect satan to try anything he can on you, but you hold to the promise and the faith. You know, when you receive healing and you receive a miracle from the Lord, by faith in God, when I pray and a miracle takes place and the power of the Lord heals you, did you know it takes just as strong a faith to hold that as when you received it, and stronger? After you receive healing, sometimes God requires more out of you. And you may even have to have a stronger faith to hold the thing many times because some part of your life may be lacking and therefore, you will have to come up in a stronger faith. You let down on your prayer and praise the Lord and thank the Lord and you will begin to grow cold in your soul. Nevertheless, when you get prayed for and by the power you get healed, it takes faith to hold the healing. So when you see somebody and they are losing their healing, or somebody that’s losing their salvation, think nothing about it. For Jesus Himself said that’s exactly what would happen when you took your eyes off of the promises and allowed satan that comes quickly. Can you say, praise the Lord? Amen. And that’s exactly right. In other words, you want to listen to what’s being said here tonight. Keep your eyes on those promises and the power in the bible, and you won’t fail if you’ll do the things that I am speaking about tonight. But what I got from the Lord, the worst detriment to the Christian life is other people. You might not believe that, but that’s exactly right. And then, you yourself are a bigger problem, I think. How many of you believe that?
7.This is helping somebody here tonight that’s wondering about why, you know, do people do this? Maybe they’ve been here for years, you know, and all along they would see this and that about other people that disagreed with them. Why? You can’t think anything about that because the Lord said it in the bible. You know, sometimes you may feel lonely like somebody has forsaken you, but the Lord says that He is right in your midst. It means nothing, you hold true to this Word, and you are in the right. But if you don’t hold true to the Word, you won’t be in the right. But you hold to the Word and do as the Word says, and God will bless you. So, we see in the Bible here, these many things here. So, you hold to the Word. And in a moment, we are going to talk a little bit about giving accounts. You can’t give an account to others. That won’t work, you must give an account only to [for] yourself. Isn’t that right? You must not mistreat people, and you must do good, but you must give an account to yourself. Listen to this right here in Luke 18: 8, we are probably taking verse 7 too. “And shall not God avenge his own elect which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily” (v.7). No matter what, mistreatment or whatever it is, or whatever you see, He will avenge you and when He does, it will be speedily that He moves to do that. And then He says here, “Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” You see, some event just before he was to return took place. That’s why He made that statement. And all of a sudden, multitudes changed their mind and went the other way. Multitudes went into the system, all of a sudden. Then He said, like a man making a statement, “Will there be anybody left,” you see? But He says in other parts of the bible, there will be a certain group, Joel’s army of power, He will have a group. But forsaking at the end of the age when He made that statement, Church members, why? There will probably be more church members than you’ve ever seen until they get wiped out in there. How many of you believe that? Church members? Oh, why certainly there will be more church members, world system and all of that, but will He find any faith? The faith that the apostles contended for is what He is saying. The faith in the apostolic doctrine is what He is talking about. The faith that the very bible was made out of, that kind of faith, a growing, strong, powerful faith that He has for His people. Don’t let, at the end of the age, anyone turn your head left or the right, hold to this Word. Never mind about people losing their healing because satan really uses those things, and people that backslide. And to people that’s hearing this tonight, in your churches or in your fellowships, in your groups, that is a sign that the Lord is coming and a blessing is coming. Amen?
8.And the main part of this sermon is, if you don’t keep the words, you will receive a delusion. I am going to tell you the rest that He revealed to me. I’m going to tell you tonight. It’s a Wednesday night, and in fact, no matter where I’m at, I will tell them this. But I’m going to preach this right here. And we will turn to the scriptures in just a moment here. In Romans, I have a scripture for you here, we begin to read it. In Romans 14: 11, it says this, “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me.” There won’t be one left out, not one, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Everyone shall give account of himself. So we don’t have any time to worry about other people, do you? Amen. Keep our eyes on the Lord Jesus and when you do, you can go through the lion’s den, the fiery furnace, and many more things, but one day, all will stand before the Lord. There is no way out of that. You know they can exchange matter into energy, energy back into matter, but they can’t create it, and neither can they destroy it. They can only blow things up and make a lot of trouble. And it doesn’t make any difference to whether you’re swallowed by a shark, you’ve heard me say this before, burn up in ashes, it won’t disappear or that somehow you become as small as a molecule that the eye can’t see. God will bring you back to your form, and you will stand before Him. How many of you believe that? And you see the men that were cast in the lion’s den, and they chewed them up, and they ate them up? How many of you remember that? It doesn’t make no difference where they went after that, they will stand before God, saith the Lord. Oh, oh, oh, oh! That’s right. Scientists have to confirm that; they cannot create matter. They have to take something of an element to even make some more matter, you know, and then act like they do it, but they don’t, God has already put everything here. But they can’t create matter, and neither can they destroy it. They can turn energy into matter and matter into energy, if they figure that out, they may hurl themselves through space faster. Oh, praise the Lord. See, deep mysteries.
9.Like Jesus, He could disappear and reappear through those walls because it comes into another dimension. He’s out of this dimension here. Now, people would be like that but never mind, every knee will have to give an account. There is no way. You can burn yourself up, people can burn themselves up. It doesn’t matter. Like I said, the lions can eat me. It makes no difference to where you can’t even see them with the natural eye. Yet, when He calls, make no mistake about it, when He calls, no matter how small, they will come back to a form and stand before God. How many of you believe that? And it will be done, too. He won’t lose one thing. Now, remember, it takes faith, but that is true. You are dealing with an Infinite. Someone that is so highly intelligent ahead of us and so far gone from this, what little we’ve got that it’s hard to even comprehend how magnificent He is! He will answer your prayers if you get to talking like that and get to believe in Him like that in a way that’s associated with the Word of God and power. Now, we are saying how powerful He is in the bible here. Listen to this right here. What a magistrate! The sin of disbelief into this, I’ve got a scripture here, “He that believeth not is condemned already.” We know that, and those who believe not are open to delusion of false doctrine and false Christ. Let me tell you this way, the Pharisees were before Jesus, and He told them who He was, and He described Himself in many different ways, but they were so busy about themselves that they failed. And the people got their eyes on the Pharisees just before the cross. And when they got their eyes on the Pharisees, then they lost the Lord Jesus. And the people that got their eyes off the Lord Jesus fell by the wayside. Only very few were at the cross, the disciples scattered in confusion and anxiety, we know all of that. He came back and brought them back together and He appeared to them. So, He told them and this is what He said right here, those who believe not are open to the delusion of false Christ. “I am come in my Father’s name,” the Lord Jesus Christ, listen to this, “and you receive me not.” He said, “If another shall come in his own name, him ye shall receive” (John 5:43). This statement means that if… now watch, it will be told in the Great Tribulation, too, to those that don’t see it. This very statement in the bible, along with others, means that if people in the finality… If they do not believe that Jesus is the Lord God, they will be open to the delusion that is coming. How many of you believe that tonight? If a few of you would like to find the door, God bless your heart. I know where He stands. And one fellow said, “that narrows your crowd down.” I said, but in the end, when I put them down, it’s going to give me a lot of people. How many of you believe that? He is Almighty.
10.And this very statement, He came in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, is what He is saying and there’s no other way, anybody that knows anything about the scriptures knows that. But when they take Him as another God, or they take Him in breaking Him up, they are wide open to delusion, He says. Then they will believe about anything, finally. Because when the strong delusion comes upon the people, those that do not have that kind of a grip, and that kind of power with the Word of God are going to be in a delusion. And then, too, His own hand protects those that go through great tribulation because they would have been deluded, too, but because of the mark of the beast, they fear enough that they go on out. But it is the truth, you have to keep your eyes on the Word. He said, “I am the Word.” In the first chapter, John said, and the Word was God, the Word was with God and the Word was God. If you don’t keep your eyes on the Word, which is the Lord Jesus Christ, no one can defy that, if you don’t keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word, then you pretty soon will be open to delusion. How many of you believe that? I’ve had some people that would doubt, the next thing I knew, they would be in the most confused, delusionary mess I have ever seen. How many of you have ever seen that? You can’t do it. Once you’ve heard the truth, keep your eyes on the truth, keep your eyes off of people, and keep your mind and heart on the Word of God, and you will never fail. He will stay right there with you, and He will bless your heart. So, remember this, this is not my words, but this is the Lord Jesus, “Those who believe not who He is, are open to delusion and even accepting a false Christ. I am come in my Father’s name, Lord Jesus Christ, that’s exactly right, and ye receive me not, if another one will come in his own name and tell you that he is God, you will believe him. So when you turn down the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and His divinity and the eternalism that He gave us eternal life, you are wide open to delusion. Make no mistake about it.
11.And some people, if they don’t really believe who Jesus is tonight, it is a conclusion matter, you will be wide open to a delusion later on as the thick and heavy delusion comes upon the earth. How many of you believe that tonight? This got into a deep sermon, didn’t it? And the Lord is telling His people how, see, others will preach this way, others will preach that way, pagans, and all kinds of ways. You get your mind on people, and you get it on what they are doing and saying and the next thing you know, you are going to lose the victory. I am telling you how to keep the victory tonight and I will tell you, there is no power unless it be in the Word and the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. That settles the matter, doesn’t it? It’s really wonderful. Without not denying those three manifestations of one Holy Spirit, it is true what I’ve told you here tonight. So remember, as the age begins to close out, a delusion will definitely set along all of those that do not receive the Lord Jesus Christ in the manner that He is presented.
12.And the Pharisees would have none of it, they received Him not and they were smote with blindness, see. And at the end of the age, the Gentiles that are left will be smote with blindness and delusion. And what does He do? Then He goes back to the Hebrews, 144,000. The same thing takes place to the Gentiles. So tonight, remember this, keep your mind and your eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ. Never mind about those that lose their healing or those that lose their salvation. The Lord told me Himself that’s what’s causing… People say, “Oh, well, you know, if that person would have just stayed with God.” Well, you see, you have more confidence in people, and you have more confidence in the devil, saith the Lord, than you have in your Creator. That’s Him. How many of you believe that? He’s going to back up His message. I really believe that in my heart. And what you have to do is what He says. Every knee shall bow to me, not those people, and not this person or that person, but every knee. And every man shall give an account of himself and not of somebody else over here that’s doing something, but what you are doing. Can you say amen?
13.I will tell you, this kind of a sermon comes strange because I had other messages, but He wanted to bring it because it is really going to help some people here tonight. Sometimes, when things come like this, in such a manner that they come, and tonight you have a wonderful spirit. But the Lord, when you come to church in unity–and this is feeling it from knowledge–when you come like that and you come with joy and you feel happy, then He gives you just what you believe and just what you need. Can you say amen? It is your faith that gets the message to you. Amen. Isn’t that wonderful? Hallelujah! Sometimes people, you know, they will say, “Oh, but that just, oh, that hurt.” Well, you come with faith and He gave you just what you needed. That’s how that message comes tonight because He knows the people before church how their hearts are. He knows how they are going to come. We’ve seen nights, you know, where people will come and there would be a kind of a twist up. You would have a couple of false, maybe cults, or somebody sitting over there, and you had different ones in the wrong spirit and things like that, and you can’t get the message just exactly. But it will come on out because the power of God just breaks it down and He brings it that way. But before service, see, He knows what the people need, and it began to come on me to bring it in this manner.
14.So remember, what He attached to this message was that when they get their eyes off of the Word, the Messiah, the Elohim, the Word of God, when they get it off the Lord Jesus Christ, they are going to be wide open to the great delusion. Now, He said the temptation is coming to try the whole world in that temptation, and part of the temptation is going to be in the way that they are going to start believing at the end of the time. And Jesus said, Shall I find any faith? And He mentioned His elect in that very scripture, I will avenge them speedily, though they cry day and night, as if they’d been persecuted about it. Read it yourself, He said, and avenge them, though they cry long, day and night, speedily, finally. But He turned and said, “Will I find any faith?” There’s droves of them departed from the Lord into those systems. And the people that kept their eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ instead of the delusion, they were persecuted evidently, because anytime God gives a great outpouring, which He will, and He will have many people coming to Him, and they will come to Him in the power of the Holy Spirit at the suppertime, at the end of the age, satan doesn’t like that. So, he will get the people stirred up. This is a futuristic sermon. This sermon is piercing the veil for the years ahead and coming to His people. And He is telling you what to do because down the line, you are going to be running and running to this, and you will come down the line, and you will be faced with some of these problems. And He is bringing it not only for tonight but for the future, unveiling His will and unveiling His knowledge to you people. So at the end of the age, He will avenge His elect, though they cry day and night. Then He turns and says, “Shall I find any faith? See, so many of them had turned and began to believe in the wrong direction. You need to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and the exact scripture. Remember, believe it like this, and you won’t be open to delusion. So, keep your eyes on the Word and you won’t go into delusion. That’s what the bible says. That is a good bargain, isn’t it? That is the only thing that will keep you out of the delusion.
15.And you say, “Well, I’ve got a good will.” Not what I saw and what the Lord revealed to me that is coming. And I mean it is a very potent and a very powerful delusion that’s coming on the earth. But at the same time, the Angel of the Lord is actually going to encamp around His saints. And, oh, He will come closer by power, and He will spread and it will just be beautiful and wonderful to watch Him move on His people. That is coming. Listen to this right here in Romans 13:1 as we begin to read, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers for there is no power but of God.” That rules out anything else. There is no power but of God. “The powers that be are ordained of God,” luciferic, satanic, angelic, human power, governmental power, no matter what it is. All power is ordained of God and without Him there is no power whether it’s negative or otherwise or positive. There is no power, He’s great. “Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinances of God and those that resist shall receive to themselves damnation” (Romans 13:2). In other words, delusion. Isn’t that wonderful? All of that took a twist in my sermon tonight from the first part that I started, I put some notations down into those scriptures of delusion, of who He is, and then He comes back over to this scripture about resisting the powers that be, the powers of God. No one will ever be able to get by with it. There is no escape except through the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you believe that tonight? The Jews would not believe after they had seen, they went into delusion. No, looked right at Him, working miracles, speaking, fled from Him at the cross, just before the cross too, many left. And so they looked right at Him and still what He worked and what He performed, they would not believe after they had actually seen the Messiah and actually seen the miracles that He wrought. And so we see that unbelievers shall die in their sins if they do not believe. He that denieth the Christ shall be denied himself. The words of Jesus to judge unbelievers on the last day. He said, I will not judge you myself, the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day (John 12:48). Isn’t that wonderful, every Word? I have come in the Name of the Holy Spirit is what He said, and here I am. How many of you believe that tonight? In the name of the Father. Amen. Unbelievers shall be damned.
16.See, the thing is this, hold to the Word of God and He will certainly bless your heart. That got a lot tougher than what you thought, didn’t it? Isn’t He wonderful? I’ll tell you, that’s food for your soul tonight. In other words, keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus and the Word of God and you won’t be wide open to delusion that’s coming. That is the whole topic, and I told it right there. Hold to what’s been taught, the apostolic doctrine. Will I find any faith? In what? In the apostolic doctrine, in the doctrine of complete power, and the power of divine love. How many of you believe that? Love worketh no ill, but it is wonderful. Will He find that kind of faith? It will be a mixture of divine love. It will be a mixture of the apostolic doctrine with it, and a faith and great wisdom from God to reveal these things. I’ll tell you, it is wonderful to hold to these promises. Isn’t that beautiful tonight? Amen. Give the Lord a hand clap! Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord, Oh my soul for He is wonderful. Now you’ve got the message, do what it says. And immediately satan cometh now. Don’t let Him steal this one because it’s the very message on that. Hold it in your heart. There is a blessing to the Words of the Lord and He will bless your heart. I want you to all stand up here tonight and you know what? How many of you need a boost here? We’ve got some time left here tonight. I think about 15 of you. I’ll pray for you. You might have something wrong with your body or you need more power from the Lord and more faith and power in the Lord Jesus. You’ve got faith and I want you to have your own faith but I’m going to pray that God would increase your faith and that’s totally all right. But remember, have your own faith in God yourself, no matter how small, have that faith in God and keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus. Never mind about people backsliding, never mind about people that are losing their healing. Watch out after yourself because you are the one that’s going to have to give account. How many of you can say amen to that? The Lord Himself, Jesus Himself said those things would take place, but the real believer doesn’t let anything bother him. Is that right? Except to do more for the Lord Jesus. That’s exactly right. Now, I want every one of you now, if you’re new here tonight and want to come across the platform, come on. I’m going to pray for some of you and energize you. Let’s believe God. About 12, 15 of you, come on down here. Then I’ll pray over every one of you that’s around the platform here. Come on down! If you need salvation, you come on down and get it and God will bless your heart.
17.My, my, my! Do you feel good tonight? How many of you believe that’s wisdom in a sermon like that? The Lord is going to bless His people like you’ve never seen. You know, people look at things that they are at the time, but in time to come and the things that are coming for His people, it will be hard for some people to really believe that because of the conditions that surround them in their home and downtown and so forth like that. But believe me, He has a master plan, and not only does He have a master plan for His whole church, but He has a master plan for each individual. And I was asked a question, “Do you believe in providence?” He says, “You know, because if it wasn’t for providence, I’ve watched the things of my own life.” And he was thinking about doing these things with me and when we got in, we got into a deep subject on predestination and providence. There is a master plan for each individual. How many of you realize that? And He is going to work that plan no matter how. And a lot of times the Lord, He just sits there or he just, I wouldn’t know. You can’t say sit or what, He is always moving and really in the power that He is in. But when you see Him in a form, it might seem that way or something like that. But outside of that, He is moving in great power, awesome power that we’ve never seen before. He has a real plan and He watches and a lot of these events He allows to take place so that the people have to use their faith and He makes it where sometimes that it is hard. Sometimes, He makes them push against it a little bit, but in the finality, He is preparing a group of people to really, really, not only enjoy the blessings of God, but to express the very image of God in them. How many of you believe that tonight? And He is going to move. So, in His master plan, He’s got every individual here in His mind and you’ve got to give Him that chance. And He is forcing the issue, in other words, He is coming by great power on His elect. He is going to have something for each of you to pray about and to do. He has His plan. We are headed for great revival. How many of you believe that? I really believe that. Shout the victory! Praise the Lord! It is really great, it is wonderful!
18.Behold, saith the Lord, even as you have watched nature and you have seen how I have moved on nature, that is an asset, that is an essence of God and the power of God. Behold, as the great lion getteth up and stirreth in the forest, so I, the Lord, am stirring. Oh, praise God! As the eagle stirreth her nest and moveth out, so the Lord shall stir His church. Oh my, isn’t that wonderful? And she shall also go to heights as the eagle, and power as the lion and turneth back from none but keep her eyes steadily upon the prey, and that is the Word of God. Oh, praise God! Hallelujah! That’s what He puts out there. And as He moves, He moves in great power. He will have a prophetic church and the testimony of Jesus, we know, is the spirit of prophecy, prophesying of His soon return and telling the people what’s going to happen in the spiritual world. We are there now where He is moving. He is going to stir. He is prophetic. He is ahead of time ,and He begins to move on His people. I had no idea at all that those little words would come out like that, but they will mean a whole lot if you can put them all together. Just get the nature of that and see what happens and see how the Lord moves. The Lord said, “I will do a quick short work.” How many of you believe that? I don’t know how the eagle stirs her nest, but it stirs things up, doesn’t it? Amen. And then it goes and flies and goes in high heights of revelation and power that you’ve never seen before. Have eyes like that. And so a quick short work and great power and heights that the church has never known before, and He likened Himself to that [an eagle] right there as coming to His church. And I really believe there’s a great blessing ahead for you people. Do you believe that tonight? How many feel real good in your soul here? Amen. And you know, we will come right back, see how it matches the sermon, these things are coming. Did you know, when the lion gets his eye on that prey, there will be a hundred of them out there running, he will spot one and he will keep his eye right on that Word and hit it. You say, amen. How many of you know that? None of them can defect [deflect] him. He’ll shoot right for one, they say. With a hundred of these things running, you will see one take off and they say, “How does he know which one to get?” Because he spots one. And he stays right with that one no matter where the rest go and he gets him. Can you say amen? Now, if his mind was divided into a hundred different ones, see, he would just all tangle up like that. But he knows, and the eagle’s going to make his dive to get his prey. That eye spots it. He don’t take it off of there either. He stays right on it. Can you say amen? And that’s the same way you keep your eyes on the Word of God, and you won’t go into delusion and you will absolutely be blessed by the Lord.
19.He’s going to bless His people. Amen. I will see you Sunday morning. I’m going to get some rest. Come on and praise the Lord, Jesus! Oh, thank you, Jesus! Oh, thank you, Jesus! Oh, my! Let Him bless your heart. He is reaching out there. He’s reaching out there. He is going to bless your heart, Come on and praise Him, Jesus! He’s going to bless your heart. Come on. Come on. Come on. He’s going to bless your heart. Yeah! Come on now. Thank you, Jesus. Just reach on out there and bless the Lord. Every one of them. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
