Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the international Mission Center in Krefeld – Germany.
Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet you and I wish that God’s Word will penetrate right into every heart. We do have one main subject, sharing with you the precious Word of God in reference to the second coming of Christ, our calling out and restoration and preparation time.
All true believers lived for one purpose: To be ready for the Return of Christ. Every true child of God has a longing to be with the LORD. And we need the assurance that we are born again, that God has given us New Life, the Life of Christ.
And dear friends, as our LORD made the promise: I go to prepare the place, then I will return and take you to be where I am. This is our hope, our conviction, our assurance that when the LORD returns, He will take us to glory. The main thing is that we are ready. But how can we know that we are ready to meet the LORD when He comes. There are a number of Scriptures and every apostle dealt with the second coming of Christ. And even our LORD said in all the three Gospels as it is recorded what would take place before He returns. And then of course we read: The Son of Man will come and His coming will be as the lightning goes from the east to the west. And then two will be sleeping on one bed, one will be taken, one will be left. Two will be working in the same field and one will be taken and one will be left. The emphasize is: to be ready, to prepare for the Return of Christ. And this must be emphasized in love. Before the Return of Christ there must be a restoration. The New Testament believers, those who belong to Christ must be restored to where they were at the very beginning. I will say it in every message: the first and the last sermon must include the same words, the same subjects, the same teaching. And friends, we live in that time period when the last call is going forth. And everyone who has an ear to hear let him hear what the Spirit has to say now by the Word of God.
Here in Hebrews the 1oth chapter we read in verse 36 and 37: “For ye have need of patience that after ye have done the Will of God ye might receive the promise.” After ye have done the Will of God. And in verse 37: “For yet a little while and he that shall come will come and will not tarry.” First we have to do the Will of God. We have to be restored back to God. Believe as the Scripture says and do what God said in His Word. And then the emphasize is: Only a little while and He that is promised to come, He shall come and not tarry. Well, we do believe that we are living at the very important time, the Bible calls the last days, the last days. And we do believe what the promises of God say as we see them fulfilled in our day. And again we must emphasize that things have gone wrong in the Church of the living God. If we look what has been in the beginning: a Church purchased by the blood of the Lamb. A Church saved, renewed, born again believers. And by the baptism of the Holy Spirit they were placed into the body of Christ with all the different ministries and the manifestation of the different gifts of the Holy Spirit. The beginning was the pattern. And we must return to that pattern of the beginning. God has placed apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors into the Church. And then those who were ordained of God chose elders and deacons for the local churches. The divine order of the New Testament Church was established at the very, very beginning. That is the Bible pattern. And we must understand: A true man of God living now must have the same message as a true man of God who lived two thousand years ago and were called by the LORD and were ordained to have the ministry. And even if we think about all the epistles written by the apostles: How wonderful the Holy Spirit guided them to deal with every subject that would ever be necessary for us to know. There is not a single question that is not answered in the Word of God. About the Godhead, about water baptism, about Spirit baptism, about election, about foreknowledge, about the first resurrection, about the millennial reign, about the second resurrection, about the White Throne Judgment: Everything is in this book. And by the grace of God we have arrived in the time of revelation, not interpretation. In the past centuries: interpretations, interpretations were spread. And every denomination – well in fact – every minister had his own interpretations of the Scriptures. And if we look into the religious world today: every denomination has their own teachings. They believe what they themselves have put into their agenda – and that is it. But let me say this in love: I will never make a compromise. Never! It is impossible. I must stay with the Word of God.
And beloved brothers and sisters, this is not only the time of revelation when all the mysteries contained in the Word of God, in the counsel of God were made known unto us but this is also the time when the true believers hear the voice of the LORD and have the eye salve put unto their eyes like Revelation chapter three says - Not only ears to hear and eyes to see but have anointing, the anointing of the Holy Spirit to divinely understand and place everything correctly according to the Word of God.
Only briefly: The main subject is the Godhead. And if you go to Israel – Israel knew God personally. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel revealed Himself to His people. And He spoke to Moses and gave what we call the statement of faith, the statement of faith. In Exodus chapter 6 our LORD said: I am your God, I am the God of heaven, the God of earth, I revealed myself to Abraham as the Almighty God but with my Name Yahweh the LORD I revealed not myself unto Him, unto them. But now coming to the subject: The Bible knows only One God. Not two. Not three. One Eternal. But this One revealed Himself for our salvation as our Father in heaven, in His only begotten Son on earth, in us by the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament through the four thousand year period no prophet no one ever spoke about a trinity, about a triune God, about three persons. No one ever addressed God in the Old Testament as Father in heaven. But six thousand three hundred and fifty seven times: LORD God, LORD God. One God. We have to go back to the Word of God. Not to the counsel of Nicaea or any of the other councils or to any dogma that was given in the course of the 2.000 years or to be more precise in the course of the 1.600 years. Because the first few centuries past without popes, without, without, without. And then, and then it started to get wrong, wrong and up to this day all the churches have adopted the doctrine of the triunity saying and believing that there are three individual persons existing from eternity. Where is the Scripture for that? It’s not there. But people believe it all over the earth. So the time has come to put things right and to place us back as sons and daughters of God. The God of heaven had to be manifested in the flesh, had to come to us. The Word had to be made flesh, dwelling among us. And in the Son of God we were placed back as sons and daughters of God and we can pray: Abba Father. And our LORD said: “I go to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God.” We were placed as sons and daughters of God. Christ the Son of God, the firstborn and we are also having the birthright. And we shall be in the first resurrection. And as our LORD promised: “I go to prepare the place.” And as John the apostle was writing, when He comes we shall see Him as He is and we shall be like He is – 1 John chapter 3.
Beloved, I have to keep my tears away if I think about the love of God. The LORD Himself coming down to live with us, to suffer for us, to shed His blood for us. Beloved, that is the manifested love of God. God did not bring us a religion. Not even the Christian religion. Not even a Christian church but the Church of Christ. There is a difference like heaven and earth being apart between all the Christian churches and the Church of Jesus Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ is the very foundation, the pillar of the truth – 1 Timothy 3:15 and 16. So let me say this in love: Those who belong to churches will not hear the Word of God. They will not take heed to the last call. They will continue, continue as they are. But all who are part of the Church of Jesus Christ, all who are born again, all who have personal relationship and fellowship with the Almighty God through Jesus Christ our LORD – they will hear what the Spirit has to say unto the churches.
And let me emphasize: This is the calling out time, the calling out time. And please understand it the right way. We have now 349 different Christian fellowships and denominations in the World Council of Churches. And all agree with all the teachings existing in the churches but not one of them agrees with the teachings of the apostles and prophets and of the LORD Jesus Christ. They all believe their rules and regulations, their statements of faith which go back to Nicaea and the other councils. But we must go back to the Word of God. We must go back to the original teachings. As the apostle Paul said: “I laid the foundation and no other foundation can be laid.”
So friends, let me say this again: This is God’s time for God’s people. And he that has an ear let him hear. My ministry is to serve the LORD. And as the apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 that we preach the reconciliation with God, the forgiveness of sins, obedience to be faithful to every Word of God. To come out of all teachings that do not agree with God and His Word and be restored. Let me say this again and God willing in the next sermon we shall touch on baptism. But let me say this once again: There is only one God, One Eternal, One Almighty. Never does the Bible say: Heavenly Son. Never does the Bible say: Heavenly Holy Spirit. Only: Our heavenly Father. Never does the Bible say: God the Son. Never does the Bible say: God the Holy Spirit. But always: God the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ. It’s time for everyone to read the Bible again and pray and ask God to show the truth unto us.
So, the One God revealed Himself as our Father in heaven. That is why we pray: Our Father who art in heaven. The same God revealed Himself in his only begotten Son. That is why we believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, our redeemer who paid the price on the cross of Calvary.
Friends, the Return of our LORD is imminent. This is the last call, the last message, the calling out time, the preparation time. And only those who will be ready shall go into the marriage supper and the door will be closed. I’m expecting you, my beloved brothers and sisters to prepare and get ready for the great moment when the trumpet of God shall sound and the LORD shall descend with the shout to call the dead in Christ first and then we who are alive shall be changed and together we shall be taken up to meet the LORD in the air and then be with Him forever and ever. May the blessings of Almighty God rest upon you in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.
