Short Summary
Brother Frank emphasizes the importance of remaining steadfast in faith, referencing Hebrews 12. He highlights the need for believers to strengthen their resolve, pursue peace and holiness, and heed God's word, especially in the end times. He connects Old Testament prophecies with New Testament fulfillment, emphasizing God's imminent intervention and the transformation of believers.
Detailed Summary
Theme: The sermon centers on the themes of steadfastness, preparation for the end times, and the importance of heeding God's word.
Key Points:
- Steadfastness and Preparation (Hebrews 12:12-16, 25-28): Brother Frank calls on believers to strengthen their "weak hands and feeble knees," urging them to remain on the "straight path" and avoid straying. He emphasizes the pursuit of peace and holiness, essential for seeing the Lord.
- Heeding God's Word: Brother Frank warns against rejecting God's voice, highlighting the consequences faced by those who rejected God in the past. He emphasizes that God's voice, which once shook the earth, will now shake both heaven and earth, signifying a coming transformation.
- Old Testament Connection (Isaiah 35:3): The sermon connects Hebrews 12:12 with Isaiah 35:3, linking the strengthening of weak hands and knees to the prophetic promise of God's coming and the restoration of sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and mobility to the lame. This connection highlights the fulfillment of prophecy in Jesus Christ's ministry.
- End Times Significance: Brother Frank stresses the relevance of these scriptures to the present day, emphasizing that we are living in the end times, on the threshold of God's final intervention. He refers to the prophecy of a final shaking of heaven and earth (Hebrews 12:26-27), leading to the establishment of an unshakeable kingdom.
- The Danger of Bitterness: The sermon warns against allowing bitterness to take root, as it can lead to spiritual defilement and cause one to fall short of God's grace (Hebrews 12:15).
- Esau's Example: Brother Frank uses Esau's example of selling his birthright for a single meal (Hebrews 12:16) to illustrate the danger of prioritizing temporal desires over spiritual inheritance. He clarifies the spiritual implications of this act, connecting it to the concept of the church as the "church of the firstborn" (Hebrews 12:23).
- God's Grace and the Present Hour: Brother Frank highlights the extraordinary grace of God in revealing His word and will in the present time. He emphasizes that the revelations given through Brother Branham are a fulfillment of God's promise to reveal sealed truths in the end times (Daniel 12:4).
