THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD RAISING UP A STANDARD AGAINST THE ENEMY Introduction Friday, September 30, 2016 Asuncion, Paraguay Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, and all the ministers and congregations in different countries connected with this service. Receive my greetings and may God bless you greatly, and may He open the Scriptures and our understanding to comprehend, comprehend the Word of God, especially the Word of God corresponding to this end time. And warm greetings for Miguel: may God bless you Miguel and may He use you greatly in His Work in this end time. And for Abner Gonzalez, Pito (as we affectionately call him): Pito, Happy Birthday! May God bless you and use you greatly in His Work in this end time. The Peace Integration Summit begins next week. We hope that all the Activists that have arrived from different countries (and those who are on their way) can work together as a team with a good attitude, following
4 all the instructions of the Committee and always being supportive and helpful people, always willing to help. Teamwork is important in order to achieve complete success. All the Activists must follow the instructions given to you just as you heard them. Remember that success is guaranteed, but it is up to us to do things correctly in the Divine Program. The organizing team has established lodging and a system of logistics during the event, and it is important that the Activists follow the rules established by the organization. We are always working, aware that success is guaranteed, and thus we must be well united and following the instructions given in order to achieve complete success, and for everyone to have the satisfaction of having taken part in the success obtained. On this occasion let us read in Isaiah, chapter 59, verse 16 and on, until 21, it says: And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord The Spirit of the Lord raising up a standard... 9 every human being, and I believe in Your Name as the only name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and that I need a Savior. I give public testimony of my faith in You and of Your faith in me, and I receive You as my only and sufficient Savior. I pray that You forgive my sins and may You cleanse me from all sin with Your precious Blood, and may You baptize me with the Holy Spirit and Fire after I am baptized in water in Your Name, and bring forth the new birth in me. I pray to You in Your Eternal and glorious Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Now, those who have come to the Feet of Christ on this occasion will ask: When can you baptize me? Since Christ said: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Since you have believed in Christ and the faith of Christ was born in your soul when you heard the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, you may be baptized; and may Christ baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire and bring forth the new birth in you. And we will continue to see each other eternally in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior. I leave reverend Porfirio Tilleria here to continue, and in each country I leave the corresponding minister to inform you what you must do to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. Continue having a happy evening, those present and in other countries; and we will see each other during
8 while people come to the front in different churches and auditoriums in different countries, and here too, to receive Christ as Savior. When the number of the elect is completed, the number of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, then the Door of mercy will be closed and there will no longer be an opportunity to be cleansed with the Blood of Christ our Savior; because He will have already left the Most Holy Place where He was as an Intercessor, and then He will come out as Judge and Lion, which He will turn into, when He finishes His Work of Intercession as High Priest in Heaven, in the heavenly Temple. For the different countries in which different people have come to the front to receive Christ, let us stand to pray for all those who are receiving Christ as only and sufficient Savior. With our heads bowed and our eyes closed: Heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You with all these people who are receiving Christ as their only and sufficient Savior in different nations. Receive them in Your Kingdom, receive them in Your presence. I pray to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Now, repeat this prayer after me, which I will be making for everyone who is receiving Christ as their Savior on this occasion: Lord Jesus Christ, I heard the Gospel, Your Gospel being preached, and Your faith was born in my soul, in my heart. I believe in You with all my soul. I believe in Your First Coming. I believe in Your death on Calvary s Cross as the Sacrifice of Atonement for me and for The Spirit of the Lord raising up a standard... 5 shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever. May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand it. The subject of introduction we will have as our title for next Sunday s Bible School will be: THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD LIFTING UP A STANDARD AGAINST THE ENEMY. Today we will only have a few minutes of introduction to what will be next Sunday s Bible School. This, being a prophetic Scripture, shows us that there is a time coming of a struggle, a battle between God and the enemy of God, named Satan or the devil; and this is for the end time, after the Dispensation of Grace has passed. In other words, it will be fully materialized in the great tribulation, which corresponds to the lapse of three and half years, and corresponds to the second part of the seventieth week of the prophecy the Archangel Gabriel gave to the prophet Daniel. There will be a great war. This war is also in Revelation, chapter 19, verses 11 and on, where it says: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
6 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. This is the Coming of the Lord with an Army, which is His Church. He comes with the saints from the different church ages, which have passed, He resurrects them, and a mighty Army will be there with the King of kings and Lord of lords. It is the Prince Messiah coming in the Last Day to obtain the great victory in Divine Love, and bless the believers in Christ and also bless the Hebrew people. That will be THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD RAISING UP A STANDARD AGAINST THE ENEMY. Therefore, let us be prepared, because a great blessing is approaching for the believers in Christ in this end time. And in the fulfillment of the Vision of the Tent, we will see the King of kings and Lord of lords coming with a Name that no one knows and with a new vesture, a vesture where it says here that this Name will be in. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in The Spirit of the Lord raising up a standard... 7 blood: and his name is called The Word of God. This is telling us about the Coming of the Lord in the end time. To everyone who is waiting for Him it will the greatest blessing in the history of the human race; because in His Coming He will resurrect the believers in Him who have died and He will transform all His believers who are alive, believing the promises corresponding to this end time, waiting for His Coming and for their transformation. There will be a transformation for the believers in Christ; there will be a transformation for everyone who forms the Mystical Body of Christ, who will be alive in the time of His Coming. And for those who have departed, there will be a resurrection in glorified, eternal and young bodies to live with Christ during the Millennium and throughout eternity. THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD LIFTING UP A STANDARD AGAINST THE ENEMY. In other words, against the enemy of God, the devil, who will be in the antichrist in the Last Day. Today, we have had the introduction to next Sunday s Bible School. If there is someone who has not yet received Christ as his Savior, you may do so in this moment; and we will be praying for you so that Christ receives you in His Kingdom, forgives you and with His Blood cleanse you from all sin, and baptizes you with Holy Spirit and Fire after you are baptized in water in His Name. Therefore, you may come to the front here, as well as in different nations you may come forward wherever you may be to receive Christ as your only and sufficient Savior. Therefore, let us wait a few minutes
