Brother Frank emphasizes the importance of not only hearing God's word but also acting upon it, comparing those who do so to wise individuals who build their houses on a rock, which is Jesus Christ. He contrasts this with those who hear but do not act, likening them to foolish individuals who build on sand, leading to destruction. He encourages the congregation to trust in God's word, especially in these times, and to allow God to work through them.
Brother Frank discusses the importance of heeding and acting upon God's word, referencing Mt 7:24, where Jesus likens those who hear and act on His words to a wise man building his house on a rock. This rock is identified as Jesus Christ, upon whom believers should build their faith and trust. He contrasts this with those who hear God's word but do not act on it, comparing them to a foolish man building on sand, which will not withstand storms. Brother Frank emphasizes that believers are chosen to believe and act on every word of God wholeheartedly. He notes that even in times of seeming defeat, as with the crucifixion of Jesus, God continues to work. He urges the congregation to hold fast to faith and God's words, not denying them, and to allow God to help them. He references Isa 26:2, highlighting the importance of trusting in the Lord, who is an eternal rock. He also references Isa 28:16, noting that God has laid a tested cornerstone in Zion, and those who believe will not be put to shame. Brother Frank stresses that the time for interpreting God's word is over; now is the time to act on what God has commanded. He references a Rundbrief by brother Branham, emphasizing the need to listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches and to receive the divine thoughts revealed in God's word. He notes that the true bride of Christ will be the direct revelation of the Word of the living God, united with Him and equipped with His abilities. He urges believers to be submissive to God as the head, acting only according to His will. He references Mal 3:23-24, noting that the word spoken through the prophet Malachi is now being made alive by the Spirit and will be fulfilled before the second coming of the Lord. He emphasizes that the second forerunner of Christ will sow before the latter rain, and this message will precede Christ's second coming. He warns that in the last days, the two spirits will be so close that only the elect will be able to distinguish them, urging believers to test the spirits with the word. He concludes by emphasizing the need to be delivered from the evil one and to allow God to bring His plan to fruition, with believers uniting in prayer and seeking God's guidance.
